HYROX is the fitness race for everybody. If you are at least 16 years old and want to take on the sporting challenge, you are welcome to HYROX! There are four different race formats to choose from, covering every fitness level. The race has no time limits and no qualification is required to participate. Did you know that our oldest participant is 77 years old and crosses the finish line with a smile on his face? HYROX includes a mix of eight 1km runs alternating with eight different workouts.
The running course will lead around the workout stations. Depending on the location, athletes will run multiple laps to complete one kilometer. Both the running track and the individual workout stations are clearly separated from each other and the entrances and exits are clearly marked.
Pro β for the experienced racer, heavier weights make for a more challenging experience. Doubles β find a partner and take on the challenge as a pair, running together but splitting the workload of the exercises. Relay β come together with your friends or family and race the relay where each member of the team does 2 times 1 km and 2 workouts.
The divisions differ, apart from the number of athletes single or team , in the weights and the number of repetitions of the movements in the individual workouts. A complete overview of the requirements for each division can be found here. The age groups are determined by the age at the time of the event. The classification of the age groups is based on the average average age of all team participants at the time of the event. All participants wear a timing chip around their right ankle, which is handed out at check-in on event day.
The race course, as well as all workouts, are linked with timing technology, so that precise timing is guaranteed for each individual athlete. The finisher time and the exact split times of the individual workouts can be used to analyze your own performance afterwards and there is the possibility to compare yourself with other athletes worldwide and thus prepare even more specifically for the next race.
