Every race is nine functional fitness stations on one continuous clock — assault bike, wall balls, row, burpee broad jumps, loaded lunges, DB snatches, farmers carry, SkiErg and sled push — joined by 600m runs with a 200m sprint finish. Seven divisions race the same course with scaled weights: Male/Female Solo, Male/Female/Mixed Doubles, Tribrid (3-person tag team) and Hyteens (a 13–15 year old paired with an adult), with age-group podiums as well as overall.
