GRYTR: Virtual (October 2026)
About this event
GRYTR Fitness Races are a blend of endurance, strength, and hybrid fitness racing performed anywhere in the world within the month of April. Compete against other athletes to move up the leaderboard, earn finisher t-shirts and medals, and test your grit against some of the toughest workouts. Choose from the Sprint, Full, or Ultra distances.
Each GRYTR Race is composed of three timed phases. In the Endurance Phase, you'll ski, row and run as fast as you can. In the Hybrid Phase, you'll do 800m runs followed by 4 strength stations. In the Strength Phase, you'll need to clean and press a set amount of weight from the floor to over your head.
Think you have the grit to do all three phases within 12 hours? You'll earn the coveted Dragon Patch, if you do.
