What is Hybrid HFD?
Hybrid HFD is our signature hybrid race format, built to test total fitness. Athletes move through challenging journeys—running, ski erg, row erg, or assault bike—combined with demanding weighted and bodyweight labours. The format blends endurance, strength, and grit, pushing competitors to work hard, move well, and stay mentally tough from start to finish. Designed to be intense, competitive, and rewarding, Hybrid HFD delivers a true full-body race experience where fitness meets resilience

Hybrid HFD Track Race – Movement Standards & Format
The Hybrid HFD Track Race is a structured, high-energy fitness event that combines running with functional strength movements in a progressive, station-based format. Athletes alternate between 400m runs and a series of 10 workout stations, each designed to test strength, endurance, and coordination.
Participants will complete a total of 4.4 km of running, broken into 400m intervals between each station. The workout stations consist of 10 rep-based exercises, including kettlebell deadlifts, burpees, squats, lunges, dumbbell movements, and core-focused exercises. Each movement has clearly defined standards and prescribed weights, which vary by gender and event format.
The race can be completed in multiple formats:
Solo – athletes complete all runs and stations independently
Pairs (Doubles) – athletes share the workload, including shared weights
Relay Teams (3 athletes) – each athlete completes designated stations, with shared final efforts
Weights are scaled appropriately for male and female competitors, ensuring a balanced and accessible challenge while maintaining intensity and fairness.
This format delivers a true hybrid fitness experience, blending cardiovascular endurance with functional strength in a competitive, track-based environment.
Hybrid HFD Gym Race
The Hybrid HFD Gym Race is a high-intensity, full-body fitness challenge designed to push strength, endurance, and work capacity in a gym-based environment. Combining running, ergs, and functional training, this race delivers a demanding and dynamic hybrid experience.
Athletes begin with a 1,000m run, followed by a sequence of 15 workout stations, each consisting of 50 repetitions. The movements include a mix of kettlebell work, burpees, box jumps, dumbbell exercises, wall balls, lunges, and core-based movements, all performed to clearly defined standards.
Throughout the race, athletes will also complete:
2 km of running (split across start and finish)
2 km of erg work (ski and row)
Weights are prescribed for male and female competitors, ensuring an appropriate level of challenge while maintaining fairness and consistency. In doubles format, athletes share both workload and equipment, adding a strategic team element to the race.
The Gym Race format is built to test strength under fatigue, aerobic capacity, and movement efficiency, making it ideal for athletes looking to compete, challenge themselves, or experience a true hybrid fitness event.
General Rules:
It is the responsibility of each racer to complete all run segments and labours as prescribed, in the correct sequence, and to clearly demonstrate that all required movement standards are being met throughout the race.
Judges: Enforce strict standards for repetitions and form.
Pairs: In pairs, the 1000m runs are done together, but reps and row/ski distances can be split between partners. Mixed Pairs require both partners to perform the labours with the male weights.
