Frequently Asked Questions
HYROX is growing rapidly around the world and new countries and cities are constantly being added to the calendar. HYROX is normally organized in large indoor expo venues to make sure we can host as many athletes as possible. A HYROX event venue is around 12,.000m2 (120,000 square feet), that’s 3 soccer pitches!
In order to qualify for the HYROX World Championships, you need to participate in any of our 45 races. Depending on your division and age group, a certain number of Qualifying slots are awarded at each race. If you are one of those great performers, you will receive an invitation and have up to 48 hours to claim your spot, otherwise it will be allocated to the next competitor. Please note that there are no qualification spots for the HYROX Relay. At the HYROX World Championships in Manchester England in 2023 there were over 2,400 athletes from 47 countries.

As HYROX is a race for Every Body, we have tried to make the workouts as
accessible as possible, so although there are basic movement standards, it
should be easily executed.
This will depend on your fitness level. The average HYROX finisher time last season was 1 hour and 32 minutes. But the race has no time cap! Some finishers take 3 hours while our current HYROX World Record Holders Hunter McIntyre and Megan Jacoby have completed the race in xx and 58:58 respectively.
HYROX is the race you’re already training for. The Train section of the website provides you with all the necessary information. Whether you want to train at home, at a local HYROX Partner Gym or through a digital fitness app, there are several ways to get HYROX ready. A standard HYROX race is equally balanced between strength and endurance, so the best training is a mixture of these two components
