FAQ
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. With over 12.000m2 of fitness, HYROX would cover 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.

As HYROX is a race for Every Body, we have tried to make the exercises 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 1H:32M. But the race has no time cap, there were finishers taking 3 hours whilst Hunter Mcintyre and Lauren Weeks hold the HYROX World Record in 55 and 63 minutes respectively.
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. Interestingly, we are working with the University of Hamburg and are evaluating the strength vs endurance ratio of training and competing. Results so far show it is perfectly balanced.
