HybridX Off Season Games vs HYROX PFT: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026)

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.

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.
