Hybrid X vs HYROX PFT : 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 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.
