HYROX combines running and functional exercise: eight 1 km runs, each followed by a workout station. Racers complete the sequence under the movement standards and compete for the fastest time in their division.
Knowing the format helps you choose an entry and understand your result. The challenge is to manage different tasks and return to running after each one.
How does a HYROX race work?
The official HYROX Brazil overview describes eight kilometres of running interspersed with eight stations in this order:

| After run | Station | Singles workload |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SkiErg | 1,000 m |
| 2 | Sled Push | 50 m |
| 3 | Sled Pull | 50 m |
| 4 | Burpee Broad Jumps | 80 m |
| 5 | Rowing | 1,000 m |
| 6 | Farmers Carry | 200 m |
| 7 | Sandbag Lunges | 100 m |
| 8 | Wall Balls | 100 repetitions |
The Roxzone connects the running course and stations. Adding runs and workouts alone can therefore miss part of the result. Venue layout and traffic also matter when reviewing a particular race.
Which divisions and weights are available?
Open and Pro singles share the race structure but use different loads for some workouts. These figures follow the 2026/27 singles rulebook, checked on 25 October 2026:

| Equipment | Women Open | Men Open / Women Pro | Men Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sled Push, including sled | 102 kg | 152 kg | 202 kg |
| Sled Pull, including sled | 78 kg | 103 kg | 153 kg |
| Farmers Carry, two kettlebells | 2 × 16 kg | 2 × 24 kg | 2 × 32 kg |
| Sandbag Lunges | 10 kg | 20 kg | 30 kg |
| Wall Balls | 4 kg | 6 kg | 9 kg |
These are singles loads. In doubles, both athletes run together and share station work under its rules. Relay uses teams of four. Adaptive has its own rulebook. Check the relevant rules and event details rather than applying this entire workload to another format.
Experienced athletes also race Open. Pro is not a certificate of readiness, and a fast Open finish does not establish that Pro loads suit you. See how to choose between Pro and Open, including a projection with explicit limitations.
How should you choose a time benchmark?
Start with the same format, sex and division, then consider age group and event. A finish time alone cannot tell you whether running, a station or transitions were your main challenge.
In OUTLIER comparisons, Brazil and international refer to race location, rather than athlete nationality. Benchmarks describe available participations, not a worldwide census or every athlete's race conditions.
Use the HYROX finish-time comparator for an initial position. Beyond the finish time explains why similar finishing times can hide different race patterns.
Where should your preparation start?
Check what your category requires and discuss your current abilities with your coach. Familiarity with each station and sustaining the runs throughout the sequence are useful questions before choosing a finish-time goal.
If you have already raced, compare compatible components and investigate one question at a time: did your runs change across the race? Was one station far from its benchmark? Was navigating the Roxzone difficult? Our training-priorities guide walks through this process.

Open the results hub, choose an available event and find your participation. Search and the available preview are free, with no registration at this stage.
The full assessment is paid. Where an offer is available, the journey shows its contents, price and availability before purchase. A preview is an initial reading; it does not automatically include the full report or promise future performance.
Official rankings remain the organiser's responsibility. OUTLIER provides independent analysis of available records and explains the limits of each comparison.
