Hybrid racing

Pairs, the format that fills a gym

Almost every simulation runs in pairs. That is not an accident.

In pairs the two team mates alternate on the work blocks and usually run together. The effort is split, the format becomes reachable for athletes who would never enter solo, and every entry brings two people into your gym. It is the strongest way to fill a first edition, and the simplest to manage on the leaderboard side.

What to keep in mind

Twice the people per slot

Sixty teams means a hundred and twenty athletes in your gym, and that many people discovering your place.

Mixed categories handled

Male male, female female, mixed. Three categories, three leaderboards, no manual sorting.

One transponder per team

Both team mates stay together on course, so one is enough. That halves the timing cost.

Free relay rules

You decide whether the switch is imposed mid station or left to the team. Both are configurable.

Less intimidating

Many athletes do their first hybrid race in pairs. It is your gateway to solo entries the following year.

Yes, it is the norm and it is fairer. Male male, female female and mixed give three distinct leaderboards on the same course.

The team net time runs from its start to its finish, whatever the internal split of effort. No calculation on your side.

Yes, they are two divisions on the same competition. Waves generate separately and so do the leaderboards.

Team size is free. Relays and leaderboards work the same way.
