The Yoddha Race vs XLETIX Challenge : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

The Yoddha Race is a hybrid fitness race series in India run by Spectacom Global, the company behind Devils Circuit. Season 3 has six regional races, in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and Delhi, followed by a Grand Finale.

The race alternates 700 m runs with seven workout zones completed in order: 1,000 m rowing, 50 m sled push, 50 m sled pull, 200 m kettlebell carry, 30 box jumps, 100 m weighted lunge walk and wall ball throws, with weights set by category. Categories are Male and Female Open and Male, Female and Mixed Doubles, with a Masters (40+) category added at regional level. Finishers under 90 minutes earn the Yoddha medal. Results feed a national leaderboard that decides who reaches the Grand Finale, which adds mystery workouts and a cash prize pool. It suits regular gym-goers and runners preparing for hybrid racing.

The XLETIX Challenge (presented by MaxiNutrition) is a team-focused obstacle race series organised by XLETIX GmbH, a Berlin company founded in 2013 by Jannis Bandorski and Matthias Ernst. Events take place at seven locations in Germany and Austria, including Berlin, Tirol Innsbruck, München Erding, NRW, Norddeutschland and, from 2027, the Nürburgring.

Participants choose one of three distances, 6 km, 12 km or 18 km, with up to 35 obstacles involving mud, water, walls and slides. The course is run in 6 km loops, so team members can pick different distances and anyone can stop after a completed loop. The focus is on getting through the course together rather than on finishing times. The series suits groups of friends, colleagues and first-time obstacle racers as well as fitter runners who want the longest distance. The same company also runs XLETIX Kids for children aged 5 to 15 and the women-only Muddy Angel Run.
