Hourglass - Format archive
This page preserves the Hourglass test format as an archive. The format is not an active event or a registration offer.
The Hourglass format uses one test with four set distances:
- Base 5
- Build 10
- Endure 13.1
- Ultimate 26.2
The structure keeps the distance constant while reducing the available time each round. The first round is 30 minutes, the second round 29 minutes, and the third round 28 minutes. Movement types and additional elements include walking, rucking, running, hybrid burpee rounds, and a carry segment.
Specific movement rules listed for the format:
- Walk and ruck one mile.
- Run two miles.
- Hybrid adds 10 burpees to each two-mile running round.
- Carry covers a half mile with 50 lb for men or 35 lb for women.
The archived page also notes features of the broader Toughest Alive offerings, such as free challenges, leaderboards, and personal stories from participants. The description focuses on the preserved format and its defined sequence of rounds and movement tasks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
