What is hybrid racing?

Hybrid races combine running and functional workouts in a standardized format that allows athletes to race head-to-head anywhere in the world.

Every Hybrid race features:

A fixed race structure

  • Repeated run segments

  • Functional workout stations

  • Divisions for every ability level

It’s not a workout.
It’s a race.

This event brings that exact competitive structure to Sacramento — with a NorCal twist.
