DURARE vs. HybridX Off Season Games: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

DURARE (Race Durare) is an outdoor fitness race in England that is run while carrying a weighted sandbag. Its events take place around Telford and Shropshire, at venues such as CrossFit Telford, Oakengates Leisure Centre and a rugby club, and it is organised by Race Durare Ltd.

The race has eight blocks. In each one, athletes complete 60 reps of a movement and then a 600 m run: burpees, bear crawls, thrusters, lunges, box step-overs, seated twists, squats and ground-to-overheads. Athletes enter solo or as pairs in the DURARE Pro or Open division, with 55+ categories. Sandbag weights range from 7.5 kg to 25 kg depending on division and gender. With no built-in rest, DURARE is aimed at hybrid athletes, gym users and runners, and many entrants come from the CrossFit and HYROX communities.

The Off Season Games is a no-run team competition from HybridX, the North Wales fitness event company. HybridX created it after its first three Stride races, when athletes asked for an event without running. The first edition took place on 8 February 2025 at the Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay, and a Kids Edition has followed.

Teams of three rotate through three workout zones, each run as an E3MOM (every 3 minutes on the minute) for 18 minutes. In each zone one athlete completes a set task, such as devil presses, wall balls or a 40 m sled push, while the other two build calories on a SkiErg, rower or bike. Once the task is done, all three add calories, and the team with the highest total across the three zones wins. It suits teams who prefer strength and engine work to running.
