Wild Hybrid was launched in 2024 by Daniel Flint (Wild Deer Events) and Sam Marshall (CrossFit Chester le Street). They identified a growing demand in the hybrid fitness space — combining trail running in scenic locations with outdoor functional fitness inspired by disciplines like CrossFit and HYROX — Together they created Wild Hybrid to meet that need.
