What is Hybrid Day?

Hybrid Day is one of the largest hybrid fitness competitions in the Iberian Peninsula, pairing 8km of running (a 1km run before each station) with 8 functional stations. It is held at striking venues across Portugal and Spain, from the Estoril racing circuit to stadiums and air bases, and follows the same HYROX-style format that makes results comparable across events.

What to expect at Hybrid Day Beja 2026

You run 1km, complete one station, then run again, repeating until you have done all 8 runs and 8 stations.
The 8 stations are a 1000m SkiErg, a 50m sled push, a 50m sled pull, 80m of burpee broad jumps, a 1000m row, a 200m farmers carry, 100m of sandbag lunges and wall balls to finish.
It is a large-field event with staggered waves and live timing, and the varied venues give each edition its own atmosphere.
As with any 8-station hybrid race, running makes up a big share of the total time, so pacing the early runs is decisive.

You can enter as Singles, Doubles or Relay, each with Open and Pro divisions. Individuals race in Elite plus Masters age categories (35+, 40+, 45+, 50+) for men and women, and Doubles run as male, female or mixed teams.
