Hybrid X vs HybridX Off Season Games : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

HybridX is a fitness event company based in North Wales that runs its races at the Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay. Its original event, HybridX Stride, is a multi-stage race of seven 600 m runs, each followed by a functional station: assault bike, farmers carry, sled push and drag, row, burpee broad jumps, sandbag lunges and SkiErg. Stride can be entered in Singles, Doubles or a three-person Relay.

HybridX also runs other formats. Off Season Games is a no-run team competition for three people, Engine is a six-zone race scored on distance, and Forge is a nine-zone doubles challenge. There are also Kids Editions for ages 8 and up. Adult events are open from age 16, with divisions for different experience levels, so the races suit first-timers as well as experienced hybrid athletes. Spectators attend free.

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.
