The Ultimate Hybrid Challenge.
The Wintering is back like never before.
An event like no other - a single day designed around two completely different goals: max strength and max endurance.
For years, you were told to sacrifice one for the other. Pick strength or pick endurance, and choose a lane and stay in it.
We've spent years proving that's wrong.
Now it's your turn to test it.
With £4,000 in cash prizes up for grabs.
This is the ultimate hybrid challenge.

The Event Format
On March 27th 2027, you'll have the opportunity to join Fergus and the OMNIA Team in Scotland for the ultimate Hybrid challenge.
The day is split into two elements:
Morning - Max Strength. Deadlift commences at 9am in a dedicated deadlift zone. You'll work up to your 1RM.
Afternoon - Max Endurance. The 6-hour run commences at 12:30pm around the East Fortune circuit.
How is the winner decided?
Every participant receives two rankings:
Deadlift - ranked by weight lifted. Heaviest lift = rank 1.
Run - ranked by distance covered. Furthest distance = rank 1.
Your overall score is your two rankings combined. The lowest combined score wins. In the event of a tie, the winner is decided by a fastest lap decider.
Separate male and female categories.
Cash Prizes
Most Hybrid
1st place male + female : £1,000 each
Strongest Lift
1st place male + female: £500 each
