DURARE vs. HYROX PFT: 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 HYROX Physical Fitness Test (P'F'T) is a short benchmark workout designed by HYROX to introduce people to the sport and show which race division suits them. It runs during the HYROX gym tour, when HYROX sets up mini events at gyms, and it is also used as a stand-alone training test.

The workout is a 1,000 m run (outdoors or on a treadmill at 2% incline), 50 burpee broad jumps, 100 stationary lunges, a 1,000 m row, 30 hand-release push-ups and 100 wall balls (6 kg men, 4 kg women). HYROX uses the finishing time as a guide: 15-25 minutes points to the Pro division, 25-35 minutes to Singles and 30-45 minutes to Doubles. There are no sleds or heavy carries, so it suits newcomers checking whether they are ready for a first full HYROX race.
