Farm Games vs Hybrid Games NW: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

The Farm Games is an outdoor functional fitness competition hosted by Farm Fitness at its farm-based training venue near Dunmow in Essex, England. It was first held in 2021 and runs as an annual one-day event.

Teams of six athletes, three women and three men, compete across five workouts named Farm Strong, Hustle & Hay, Field Fury, Yard Work and Harvest Hustle. Each workout tests a different aspect of fitness and is built around farm-inspired equipment and outdoor terrain, with an emphasis on teamwork under pressure. The event is closer to a team fitness competition than a timed running race: there is no fixed run distance, and scoring depends on performance across the workouts. It suits groups from gyms or training clubs who already train together in functional fitness and want an outdoor team competition. Farm Fitness also runs other events on site, including Britain's Fittest Farmer and a 10K.

Hybrid NW is a UK hybrid fitness race series that started in north-west England. Every race is nine stations on one continuous clock, joined by 600 m runs and ending with a 200 m run to the finish. The stations are an assault bike, wall balls, a row, burpee broad jumps, loaded lunges, dumbbell snatches, a farmers carry, a SkiErg and a sled push.

Seven divisions race the same course with weights scaled by division: Male and Female Solo; Male, Female and Mixed Doubles; Tribrid, a three-person tag team; and Hyteens, which pairs a 13 to 15 year old with an adult. The 2026 season included a race at Derby Arena and a season finale at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester. The series works with a network of affiliate gyms across the UK, and spectators enter free. It suits athletes with a mix of running and gym fitness, including juniors racing with a parent.
