About the race

Every HYROX race is the same format: eight 1 km runs, each followed by a station, finishing with wall balls. You can race solo, in doubles or as a relay team of four.

Open to everyone, from first-timers to experienced athletes.

Training for it

Most people give themselves 8 to 12 weeks, mixing running, strength and station practice.

  • Run three times a week, including some 1 km repeats at race pace.
  • Practise each station at least every two weeks.
  • Do one full or half simulation three to five weeks out.
