Farm Games vs The Hybrid Games : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (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.

The Hybrid Games is a fitness race series run at indoor venues across the UK. The course alternates ten 600 m runs with ten functional stations and finishes with a 200 m sprint, about 6.2 km of running in total. Stations include an air bike, wall balls, rowing, burpee broad jumps, dumbbell snatches, lunges, a farmers carry, a sled pull, SkiErg and a sled push, with separate weights for men and women.

Entries are available as Male or Female Solo and as Male, Female or Mixed Doubles. Every station is judged, athletes are chip-timed, and the organisers state that there is no cut-off time. Results feed a season leaderboard ranked by age group. Recent and upcoming host cities include Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow. It suits athletes who train both running and strength and want a judged race.
