About the RESET HYBRID 5K CHALLENGE
This one does not end at the finish tape. After the run, you enter what the organizers call the Hybrid Zone, where you work through a series of physical challenges, burpee broad jumps, walking lunges, a sandbag carry, and a set of bodyweight squats, before you are cleared to cross the finish line. The course is in Long Beach along Ocean Boulevard.
The format suits runners who want more than a timed road race. Completing the run is only the halfway point; the strength work comes after your legs are already spent. No equipment is needed beyond what the course provides, and the event is open to anyone willing to put in the work.
