Hybrid Games NW vs Super Human Games : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

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.

Superhuman Games is an outdoor functional fitness and endurance competition in Bristol, first held in 2013 and organised by Superhuman Sports. Recent editions have taken place at Greville Smyth Park, with Vivo Life as headline sponsor.

Teams compete as same-sex pairs, mixed pairs or mixed teams of four, with Open, Masters and Vets age groups decided by combined age. Across the day each team completes five 20-minute workouts and scores as many laps as possible in each. The workout themes stay the same every year. Strength & Honour covers heavy lifting such as tyre flips and sandbags, Brutal Beat Down uses bodyweight work, and Unconventional Beast involves odd-object carries. The Assault Course is a military-style obstacle course, and VO2 Max combines running, rucking and hill sprints. The movements are new each year and released 12 weeks before the event. They avoid high-skill elements, so the Games suit both first-timers and experienced athletes.
