How long does The Hybrid Games take?

The series publishes no average finish time and sets no cut-off, so the only honest estimate is your own. Add your 6.2km of running at the pace you hold when tired, your times for the two 1,000m machine pieces and the 100 wall balls, and the 20 timing-mat crossings you make walking into and out of stations.

What are the 10 Hybrid Games stations?

In fixed order: 50 calories on the air bike, 100 wall balls, a 1,000m row, an 80m burpee broad jump, the dumbbell snatch, 100m of sandbag lunges, a 200m farmers carry, a 60m sled pull, 1,000m on the SkiErg and a 60m sled push.

Can you enter The Hybrid Games as a pair?

Yes, as Male, Female or Mixed Doubles. You share every station and divide the work as you like, but you run every run side by side, and the dumbbell snatch doubles to 100 reps between you rather than halving.

How is The Hybrid Games different from HYROX?

Ten 600m runs instead of eight 1km runs, 10 stations instead of eight, and two movements HYROX never uses: an air bike and a dumbbell snatch. Seven movements overlap, so your stations transfer from HYROX and your pacing does not.

What is The Hybrid Games?

The Hybrid Games is an indoor arena race built from 10 x 600m runs, 10 workout stations and a 200m sprint finish, entered solo or as a doubles pair. That is 6.2km of running before a single rep, and the station order never changes from event to event. The series sets no qualifying standard and no official cut-off time, so anyone can start, and everyone meets the loaded second half in the same state.

What to expect at The Hybrid Games Belfast 2026

You run 600m, work one station, run another 600m, and repeat until all 10 stations are behind you, then settle the places over a 200m sprint.
The order is fixed: air bike, wall balls, row, burpee broad jump, dumbbell snatch, sandbag lunges, farmers carry, sled pull, SkiErg, sled push.
Timing mats sit at the start, at the entry and exit of every station and at the finish, so your race file separates each run from each station and shows where the time actually went.
Penalties are added afterwards by the head judge rather than at the station: 4 minutes for a missed lap, 90 seconds for a station out of order, and a missed station or whole run is a disqualification.
Waves are capped at 20 to 30 athletes, so the floor stays clear enough to run your own race instead of queuing behind one.

Five categories are on sale at every event: Male Solo, Female Solo, Male Doubles, Female Doubles and Mixed Doubles. A pair splits each station however it likes, but both athletes run every run together, and starting a station before your partner arrives costs 2 minutes. The dumbbell snatch is the one place doubles gets harder rather than easier, at 100 reps between two athletes against 50 solo. Mixed Doubles race at the male load everywhere except that snatch, where each athlete may use their own weight. Seven age brackets run from 16 to 22 at the youngest up to 58 and over, and a pair is placed on the average of both athletes.
