Hybrid X vs MacTuff : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

HybridX is a fitness event company based in North Wales that runs its races at the Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay. Its original event, HybridX Stride, is a multi-stage race of seven 600 m runs, each followed by a functional station: assault bike, farmers carry, sled push and drag, row, burpee broad jumps, sandbag lunges and SkiErg. Stride can be entered in Singles, Doubles or a three-person Relay.

HybridX also runs other formats. Off Season Games is a no-run team competition for three people, Engine is a six-zone race scored on distance, and Forge is a nine-zone doubles challenge. There are also Kids Editions for ages 8 and up. Adult events are open from age 16, with divisions for different experience levels, so the races suit first-timers as well as experienced hybrid athletes. Spectators attend free.

MacTuff is a Scottish events company, MacTuff Limited of Glenrothes, Fife, that runs mud and obstacle challenges for adults and children along with a road half marathon. Its obstacle events include the Really Muddy runs at Castle Fraser, Sauchen near Aberdeen, and in Fife and Kinross, plus MacTuff Kids events in Fife.

The Really Muddy events offer a 3 km kids course and 5 km and 10 km adult courses through mud, water and obstacles. MacTuff Kids is a roughly 3 km course where children run alongside participating adults, with obstacles built in two heights so that adults and children can tackle them together; the organiser sets adult-to-child ratios by age. Participants receive a T-shirt and medal, with free parking, spectator access, photos and bag drop. The events are aimed at families, groups, charity fundraisers and newcomers to obstacle running rather than competitive racers.
