Deadly Dozen vs. Super Human Games: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

Deadly Dozen is a hybrid fitness race that began with a track race in Macclesfield, England, in mid-2024, founded by Jason Curtis. In the original Track Race, athletes alternate twelve 400 m runs, called Journeys, with twelve functional exercise stations, called Labours, for 4.8 km of running in total.

Athletes can race solo, as pairs who share the Labours, or as a relay team taking turns. Alongside the Track Race, the brand runs Deadly Sprint, Ultra and Hybrid formats, a youth race, a swim edition and gym-based races, including strength and barbell formats, through affiliate gyms. UK track races are held at athletics venues such as Lee Valley, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Bristol, Macclesfield, Edinburgh, Crawley, Liverpool and Portsmouth, and the organisers say the network now spans 44 countries. First-timers are welcome, and the movements are designed to be accessible while still demanding.

Superhuman Games is an outdoor functional fitness and endurance competition in Bristol, first held in 2013 and organised by Superhuman Sports. Recent editions have taken place at Greville Smyth Park, with Vivo Life as headline sponsor.

Teams compete as same-sex pairs, mixed pairs or mixed teams of four, with Open, Masters and Vets age groups decided by combined age. Across the day each team completes five 20-minute workouts and scores as many laps as possible in each. The workout themes stay the same every year. Strength & Honour covers heavy lifting such as tyre flips and sandbags, Brutal Beat Down uses bodyweight work, and Unconventional Beast involves odd-object carries. The Assault Course is a military-style obstacle course, and VO2 Max combines running, rucking and hill sprints. The movements are new each year and released 12 weeks before the event. They avoid high-skill elements, so the Games suit both first-timers and experienced athletes.
