Turf Games
Team Hybrid Festival
Hybrid festival, primarily a team competition (Festival 6s, City 4s); the ENGINE format additionally offers Solo and Pairs entries. Three divisions (Everyday / Intermediate / Elite).
Format
Turf Games is at heart a team competition — and that sets it apart from every other hybrid format in this calendar. A single event typically consists of 4–5 back-to-back workouts with functional movements: lifting (but no heavy Olympic), running, rowing, short obstacle stations.
Each event runs three divisions:
- Everyday — entry-level
- Intermediate — experienced amateur athletes
- Elite — top tier
Competition variants
| Format | Entry | Character | Duration / Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Festival (Winter / Summer / Gold Coast) | Team of 6 (3 M + 3 W) | Flagship: 4–5 workouts back-to-back | Full festival day |
| Fittest in the City | Team of 4 | Shorter city format | ~95 min competition window |
| ENGINE | Solo · Pairs · Teams | Endurance-focused | Workouts of 35–55 min |
| Occasional formats | Teams of 3 (e.g. Full Throttle), FITC pairs qualifiers | regional / seasonal | variable |
The ENGINE format is the most cardio-heavy hybrid variant and the only standard format with Solo and Pairs entries. The Festival and City variants are team-only.
Movement examples
Concrete workouts vary by event — typical building blocks include:
- Running (sprint intervals and longer loops)
- Rowing / Echo Bike / Ski Erg
- Dumbbell and kettlebell lifts (snatches, cleans, carries)
- Wall Balls, Box Step-Overs, Sled Push
- Burpees, Lunges, Sit-Ups
- Team-synchronisation tasks (e.g. simultaneous Wall Balls)
Heavy barbell lifts (max snatch, clean & jerk) and Olympic-style work are essentially absent.
