A useful Roxzone comparison starts with the same race, category and age group. Transition time can go unnoticed when you look only at the finish. Checking this split helps you understand how your race time was distributed.
In the panel above, select the edition and group shown in your result. Enter your Roxzone time to see whether it is among the quickest, within the most common range or above that range. You can also leave the time blank and explore the available reference.
These are real race entries from the OUTLIER database. Each comparison stays within the selected edition; Brazil and international races have separate lists. The sample size appears alongside the result.
What is the Roxzone in HYROX?
The Roxzone is part of the route between the running course and the stations. Published results include a field called “Roxzone Time”, which combines the time assigned to this race component.
This total may reflect movement, approaching and leaving stations, and stops along the way. On its own, it does not tell you how long you stood still or why a transition took longer. It becomes more useful when you add your recollection of the race and examine the other splits.
Before racing, check the map, entrances, exits and organiser instructions. The official Singles rulebook for season 26/27 addresses movement around the course and use of the IN and OUT accesses. Analysing a particular edition also requires the layout and timing points of that event.
What is a good Roxzone time?
The more useful question is: where does my Roxzone time sit among comparable entries in this edition? A universal cutoff in minutes would lose the context of the arena and the groups racing there.
The consultation uses three plain-language descriptions:
- Among the quickest in the group: your split is below the most common range, in the shorter-time part of the sample.
- Within the most common range: your split falls within the interval containing approximately the middle half of the group's times.
- Above the most common range: your split took longer than that interval. Review the race sequence and what happened during transitions.
The typical time is the point that divides the group in half. It helps put your mark in context without turning the comparison into a fitness or execution score. A shorter time means a shorter Roxzone split; assessing the whole race still requires the runs and stations.
The panel flags times that coincide with a range boundary. References are rounded to the second and ties can occur; these references do not assign an exact individual placing.
An example from São Paulo
At HYROX São Paulo on 17–18 October 2026, the Men's Open, ages 35–39 group included 245 eligible entries. The typical Roxzone time was 7min25s, and the most common range was 6min16s to 9min03s.
Imagine entering 7min00s. The result would be “Your time is within the most common range”, with a split 25 seconds below the group's typical time. This is an illustrative input, not an identified athlete.
That difference describes the sample's recorded times. It does not establish whether there was an unnecessary stop, whether the course was executed well or how much someone could improve next time.
For a real example of how race components fit together, see the commented analysis beyond the finish time.
Why select the race and age group?
Changing the edition changes the reference group. The map, chip timing points, participant mix and event conditions are part of the context. The consultation therefore does not substitute another race to produce a classification.
The same care applies to categories: Men's Open, Women's Open, Men's Pro and Women's Pro stay separate. Use the age group published in the entry, which may differ from your current age.
The “all ages” option gives an overview of the same category and edition. It is labelled as a group without age adjustment. You decide whether to broaden the comparison; a small sample is never silently replaced with a different group.
Brazil and international races: separate references
The study includes races in Brazil and abroad, with different historical coverage. The selection refers to the event location, not participant nationality.
Selecting “international” opens other editions. It does not produce an ideal world time or one average for comparing different arenas. The result remains tied to the selected race, sex, division and age group.
Some categories contain few records. When the data only support an initial reference, we show the typical time without classifying your split. Below the chosen minimum, we explain the limitation and offer the all-ages view for that same category and race.
What should you review if your Roxzone took longer?
Start with context you can check. Did you know where to enter and exit? Were there movements you had not expected? Do you remember stops between stations? How were your running and movement execution at that point?
Bring those observations into your race review. Total Roxzone time does not automatically separate route, pauses and pacing decisions. Avoid turning every difference from the reference into minutes that could necessarily be recovered.
The article on pace, consistency and fatigue helps you examine the run sequence. The Sled Push and Burpee Broad Jumps guides add station context. The final question is how these components came together in your entry.
From the consultation to your full result
This article's consultation is free and uses a group of race entries. To examine your own sequence, open the OUTLIER results hub, choose an available race and confirm the correct entry.

Sources and methods
We performed a read-only extraction on 27 October 2026. After the quality criteria and source review below, the study retained 4,028 entries from five Brazilian editions, from 20 September 2025 to 18 October 2026, and 171,476 from 67 international editions, from 19 July 2025 to 9 August 2026. The international selection examined 70 editions with previously reconciled dates; three had no eligible entries. This is the historical archive available for this analysis, not a worldwide census or coverage of every recent race.
The unit is one entry in one edition. A person may appear at several events. Only Men's and Women's Singles Open and Pro entries with recorded sex, division and age group are included. Doubles and relays are outside this comparison.
- We removed repeated aggregate views, conflicting copies, results without a usable classification, known historical provisional-result flags, and identified penalties or bonuses.
- We required eight distinct runs, eight stations and one positive “Roxzone Time”, plus reconciliation of the component sum with the finish time within 30 seconds. We neither distribute the total equally across stations nor reconstruct stops from it.
- Broad screening allowed finish times from 45 minutes to five hours, valid runs up to 30 minutes, runs 2–7 from two to 20 minutes and stations from 30 seconds to 40 minutes. These are study criteria; an excluded record is not automatically an invalid result.
- We checked the three Roxzone totals above 45 minutes remaining after those filters against the official source. Their times matched the archive. The Chiba detail displayed a SkiErg bonus missing from the initial filter, so we excluded that entry from this analysis. We retained the Delhi and Berlin records, with no penalty or bonus displayed in their detail pages. The original database was not changed.
References are calculated within edition × sex × division × age group, without pooling cities or averaging event typical times. We use empirical 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles with interpolation and rounding to the second. “All ages” combines the eligible age groups in the same category and edition.
With at least 50 entries, we show the range and relative interpretation. With 20–49, only the typical time. Below 20, we do not interpret performance. These thresholds guide presentation; they are not confidence levels or accuracy probabilities. Of the 2,754 observed groups, 1,137 have a full reference, 504 allow an initial reference and 1,113 receive no interpretation.
We also repeated the calculations without the two retained long extremes. In the affected all-ages groups, the largest reference change was under one second; within age groups, it reached 13.5 seconds at Delhi's upper range boundary. This is documented in the validation report and does not turn those extremes into targets.
The explicit official-result status field was missing in the retained entries. Filtering and spot checks do not homologate every result. The official HYROX platform remains the source for classifications and corrections. OUTLIER provides an independent interpretation of available data, subject to updates.
