HURBAX Madrid staged its 2026 national final on 24 October at the Recinto Ferial in San Sebastián de los Reyes. Individual athletes, pairs and teams of four combined five one-kilometre running segments with five functional workouts.
The stations demanded 1,000 metres of rowing, 100 wall balls, 100 metres of sandbag lunges, a 200-metre farmers carry and 80 metres of burpee broad jumps. Qualifiers arrived through the season ranking, but the final began from zero.
A national final built around pace and strength
Image Media's three selected photographs show the breadth of the Madrid competition: the opening run, athletes working together across a long row of machines and the concentration required during the sandbag lunges.
Champions decided in Madrid

Escuela Naval Militar topped the mixed team classification. Across the categories, the final converted the season's qualifying work into a single championship test of speed, strength and consistency.
