Overview
The Hyrox race format is identical at every event worldwide. This standardization is the core appeal - you can compare your time in London directly against your time in New York. Here's exactly how the race flows from start to finish.
Station By Station
Station 1 is the SkiErg (1000m), followed by Sled Push (50m), Sled Pull (50m), Burpee Broad Jumps (80m), Rowing (1000m), Farmers Carry (200m), Lunges (100m), and Wall Balls (75-100 reps). You always do them in this exact order, with a 1km run before each.
Distances
Total running is 8km (8 x 1km). Station distances add roughly 5km of movement including ski, row, carries, lunges, and jumps. The entire course from start line to finish line covers about 13km of effort, though you never run more than 1km continuously.
Time Caps
Most events have a 4-hour time cap - extremely generous. The vast majority of athletes finish well under 2 hours. If you can run 5km and do basic gym movements, you will finish. The time cap exists mainly for logistics, not as a real barrier.
Scoring
Your time is the only metric. Clock starts when your wave begins and stops when you cross the finish line. Station times and running splits are tracked separately so you can analyze where you gained or lost time in your results breakdown.
Divisions
Open Men and Women use standard weights. Pro divisions use heavier farmers carry weights (32kg vs 24kg for men, 24kg vs 16kg for women). Doubles alternate - one runs while the other does the station. Relay teams of four each complete two complete rounds.
