Overview
Hyrox is an indoor fitness racing competition that combines running with functional workout stations. Founded in Hamburg in 2017, it has grown to over 30 countries with hundreds of thousands of participants. The format is standardized worldwide - same distances, same stations, same order - making it the first true global fitness race.
Race Format
Every Hyrox race consists of 8 rounds. Each round is a 1km run followed by one functional workout station. The total course covers approximately 13km when you factor in the station distances, and most Open division athletes finish in 75-100 minutes.
Who Can Compete
Anyone. There are no qualifying times, no prerequisites, and no minimum fitness level required. You just register, pick a division, and show up. The slowest finishers take 2+ hours and the fastest pros finish under 55 minutes - everyone races the same course.
Divisions
Open is for first-timers and recreational athletes. Pro is the competitive division with heavier weights on farmers carry. Doubles pairs two athletes who alternate stations. Relay splits a team of four across the 8 rounds - two stations each.
How To Register
Go to hyrox.com, select your country, and find the event closest to you. Choose your division, pick a wave time (morning waves are usually less crowded), and pay online. Prices range from roughly $70-130 depending on division and early bird availability.
What To Expect Race Day
Arrive at least 90 minutes before your wave. Check in at registration, drop your bag, warm up in the designated area. When your wave is called, you funnel into the start pen and the clock starts. Between stations you transition through marked lanes - no rest, just movement.
Cost
Individual entry typically ranges from $70-130 depending on city, division, and when you register. Doubles entries are per person at a similar rate. Spectator tickets are usually $15-25 or sometimes free. Early bird pricing can save 10-20% if you register months ahead.
