YOHKA™ | Racing Reimagined. Built to Move.
The Evolution of Fitness Racing: How YOHKA is Leading Australia into a New Era
Fitness racing is no longer just a weekend challenge. It’s becoming a global sport, a digital content powerhouse, and a movement shaping how we connect, compete, and move.
As the world gears up for the 100m obstacle sprint’s Olympic debut at LA 2028 and eyes it for standalone inclusion at Brisbane 2032, YOHKA is leading the charge here in Australia. With innovative race formats, cinematic storytelling, and a powerful sense of community, YOHKA is redefining what’s possible for fitness sports.
Why Fitness Racing Is Having Its Moment
The sport combines everything today’s athletes crave: speed, strategy, strength, and self-discovery. With over 20 million participants globally, the momentum is real. But while the rest of the world catches on, YOHKA is already activating new formats and creating an Australian blueprint for what next-gen fitness racing looks like.
From elite-level qualifiers like the 100m Stampede to high-impact Urban TAG showdowns, YOHKA is proving that fitness racing is ready for primetime and for the people.
The Formats Driving the Future
At YOHKA, we’ve engineered formats that meet global standards while staying true to grassroots energy:
- The 100m Sprint Series (Stampede): A lightning-fast, Olympic-aligned challenge combining raw speed with obstacle precision. It’s thrilling for spectators and addictive for athletes of all levels.
- Urban TAG (Pursuit): Where parkour meets game-play. A reactive, creative format that turns movement into a live-action spectacle.
- OCR Classic & Challenge: The foundation of our sport. Blending technical obstacles with scalable formats (3K–10K+), these are built for both community and competition.
- YOHKA Kids: Not just a junior category. It’s our long-term play for movement culture, designed to spark confidence and connection from the ground up.
