Forge Hybrid Race vs Savage Race : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

FORGE Hybrid Race is Cambodia's first hybrid fitness race, held at the ISF Sports Ground in Phnom Penh. Athletes run ten 500 m laps, each followed by one of ten functional stations (some Cambodian-themed, e.g. the Rice Sack Carry), for 5 km in total; a Youth (12-17) division races 2.5 km with five bodyweight stations. Divisions are Individual Male/Female, Doubles Male/Female/Mixed and Youth, with waves of five athletes every five minutes and professional timing. Finisher shirts and patches are produced locally by the NGO ISF Cambodia. The inaugural edition is on 14 November 2026.

Savage Race is an American obstacle race series with events currently listed in Florida (Dade City) and Georgia (Dallas), held in spring and autumn. It has received awards from Mud Run Guide and OCR Buddy, including best North American series.

There are two formats. The full Savage Race covers 5 to 7 miles with 25 or more obstacles, including its signature near-vertical slide Colossus, ice baths, fire and mud. Savage Blitz is a shorter option of 3+ miles with 15 to 20 obstacles. Entry includes chip timing, a T-shirt and a medal. Most runners join open heats, while the SavagePRO wave on Saturday mornings competes for overall and age-group awards; there is also a SavageJR race for children and a team option. Runners who complete two or more events in a calendar year qualify for the Savage Syndicate medal. The Blitz suits first-timers, while the full race suits runners with a solid fitness base.
