Data checked on October 22, 2026. These references describe races available in the analyzed dataset, separating Brazil and abroad. HYROX continues to publish the official rankings.
A good HYROX time depends on the group you are comparing with. Sex, age group, division and race location change the context. Before choosing a target such as 1h20 or 1h30, it helps to understand where that time fits.
We analyzed 4,987 entries across five events in Brazil and 310,375 entries across 99 events outside Brazil, from the 2025/26 season and the start of 2026/27 available in OUTLIER. These are Singles races, with Open and Pro kept separate.
These counts are race entries: someone who raced more than once may appear more than once. The international selection is the archive of races abroad available to us, with uneven coverage across locations and seasons.

How to recognize a good time in your group
We use three references to make the comparison easier to read:
- Front of the group: the time marking the start of the fastest quarter, approximately the shortest 25% of times. Finishing below this reference places the result in that part of the sample.
- Middle of the group: the point with approximately half the times faster and half slower.
- Central band: the interval containing the middle half of times, between the front reference and the start of the quarter with the longest times.
Being at the front signals competitiveness within that group. The central band places a finish among the group's more common times. A quarter of the sample still has longer times after that band; that position alone neither identifies the cause of a result nor defines an athlete's ability.
For a first-time athlete, finishing may be an important achievement. The dataset does not tell us who was a beginner, how much they trained or their conditions on race day. We therefore do not use the table to label anyone as beginner, intermediate or elite.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men Open · Brazil | 1:19:41 | 1:28:01 | 1:19:41–1:39:34 | 2,779 |
| Men Open · Abroad | 1:18:01 | 1:28:11 | 1:18:01–1:41:53 | 168,919 |
| Women Open · Brazil | 1:26:05 | 1:34:32 | 1:26:05–1:47:20 | 1,049 |
| Women Open · Abroad | 1:26:03 | 1:36:23 | 1:26:03–1:50:34 | 95,857 |
| Men Pro · Brazil | 1:17:29 | 1:25:29 | 1:17:29–1:36:23 | 864 |
| Men Pro · Abroad | 1:11:57 | 1:21:09 | 1:11:57–1:33:09 | 31,192 |
| Women Pro · Brazil | 1:21:26 | 1:28:56 | 1:21:26–1:38:50 | 295 |
| Women Pro · Abroad | 1:18:07 | 1:27:40 | 1:18:07–1:40:08 | 14,407 |
Quick interpretation: in men's Open, the middle of the group is close to 1h28 in both selections. In men's Pro, the front reference is close to 1h17min29s in Brazil and 1h11min57s abroad. These values describe the entrants and events in the archive.
The Pro and Open rows contain different people. Comparing them does not isolate the effect of weights: a shorter central time in Pro does not mean changing division would make someone finish faster.
To understand that change, see Should I compete in Pro or Open?, which explains the divisions and the limits of an individual projection.
Compare by age group too
In the tables below, each cell shows front / middle of the group, followed by the number of entries, marked n. Choose the same sex, division and age group as the result you want to contextualize.
For this guide, both references are shown with at least 50 entries across three events. Groups with at least 20 entries across two events that do not meet the higher criterion show only the middle, marked with an asterisk: an initial indication that is more likely to change. Smaller groups display Limited sample.
This is an editorial caution rule, not a statistical confidence percentage. The data remains a sample of the archive, affected by coverage and event composition.

How to use the table in practice
Imagine a 1h25 men's Open entry, age 30 to 34. In Brazil, this group's front reference is 1h18min44s and the middle is 1h26min54s. The example result is faster than the middle but still after the front reference.
Now consider women's Open, age 30 to 34, also in Brazil. The front reference is 1h24min09s and the middle is 1h32min06s. The same 1h25 is close to this other group's front reference.
These examples interpret the sample without predicting placement in the next race. This is the context lost when one time is used for everyone.
Why separate Brazil and international races?
“Brazil” means races held in Brazil, including athletes of other nationalities. “Abroad” means races held outside Brazil in the analyzed archive, including Brazilians who raced there.
The Brazilian dataset covers São Paulo in September 2025, Rio de Janeiro in November 2025, Fortaleza in February 2026, and São Paulo in April and October 2026. That is five editions in three cities.
The international selection includes more races and a different set of entrants. It also ends earlier: the latest event included in this analysis is from August 2026, while Brazil includes São Paulo on October 17 and 18, 2026. The picture of early 2026/27 remains partial.
Differences between the tables therefore do not demonstrate that athletes from one country are better or worse. Age distribution, entrant selection, available editions and race conditions also affect this comparison.
If you raced in the latest São Paulo edition, also see the October 2026 analysis.
Your finish time is the start of the analysis
Two athletes may finish near 1h30 and distribute that time differently: in runs, stations or Roxzone, the transition area. Position within the group places the finish in context. Splits help raise questions about how the race unfolded.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1h30 a good HYROX time?
It depends on the group. Compare 1h30 with the front, middle and central band for the same sex, division and age group. Progress compared with your own previous races is also useful context.
What is a good time for a first race?
We cannot identify first-time athletes in the dataset. The tables describe recorded times, but do not support a universal target for a debut. Preparation and race strategy must consider your individual situation.
Can I use these times for Doubles?
This guide was calculated for Singles, the individual race. Doubles, Relay, Adaptive, Elite 15 and OUTLIER partner events were excluded. Each format needs its own reference.
Does being at the front guarantee a podium finish?
The front reference is a descriptive sample cutoff. A podium finish depends on the rankings and rules of the event raced. About a quarter of a large group can contain far more athletes than podium places.
Source, sample and method
Archive queried on October 22, 2026. We used finish times and rankings stored by OUTLIER from the 2025/26 HYROX results portal and the 2026/27 season. The organizer continues to publish official rankings. For women's Pro directly, see the official lists for São Paulo in April 2026 and São Paulo in October 2026.
The selection covers Singles, Open and Pro, men and women according to the source fields. Age group is the one recorded in the result; we do not estimate age from a name or time.
Overlapping Brazilian tables were reconciled: the 3,238 individual times from 2025/26 appear in both internal sources and match. We used one copy. For October 2026, we used the available Brazilian source's individual results.
Outside Brazil, we removed 212,830 records from aggregated views overlapping daily or weekly lists. Entries are identified within the same event and source category. Athletes who raced different events still count in each entry.
We also separated one record without a finish time, one without a ranking and 47 times outside the screening range of 45 minutes to five hours. Screening indicates a need for checking; it does not declare faster or slower finishes invalid.
Age-group selections exclude 90 records with a missing or uninterpretable age group. These records remain in the overall sex/division view. Complete splits are not required for finish-time references; discrepancies between section sums and the total are tracked in the audit.
“Front”, “middle” and “central band” correspond to the first quartile, median and first-to-third-quartile interval respectively. We calculate them over pooled entries, interpolating between times when needed, and display them rounded to the second. Larger races and athletes who raced more often have more weight in this picture.
Four special-context editions identified in the international catalog were excluded, including championships and an invitational event, as were categories labeled Elite or Invitational. Sex/division coverage varies within the 99 international editions.
Flagged-record check: on October 22, 2026, we compared the 14,654 results carrying a historical provisional-status flag in the archive with current lists on the official portal, including 4,340 women's Pro results. Their finish times matched. We corrected the sex classification and ranking of one Miami result in the analysis, retaining its finish time.
The visited lists showed no provisional-result notice during that query. This describes what was observed that day; the organizer may revise results later. The check covered flagged records and identification of additional categories, not a new individual verification of every entry in the archive.
Event identification: six international catalog editions had categories whose official headers named another city. We removed all six editions entirely from every selection until their identity is reconciled. The international reference therefore uses 99 editions without selecting results by time or sex. Exclusions are documented in OUTLIER's analysis methodology.
