Your sport is HYROX. HYROX is the fitness race for Every Body. If you are over 16 years old and want to take on the challenge, you are more than welcome at HYROX.

Frequently Asked Questions
HYROX is open to everyone. You can register as an ADAPTIVE athlete (with a disability) in any category (singles, doubles, relay), but we only offer a separate classification in the SINGLES division. Therefore, if you wish to participate individually, please purchase the ADAPTIVE MEN or ADAPTIVE WOMEN ticket. If you want to take part in DOUBLES or RELAY, purchase a regular ticket and notify us by email at hello@hyrox.lv
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.
There are eleven age groups within the individual divisions, five age groups within the doubles division and 2 for the Relay. The age groups are broken down as follows:

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
Spectators are absolutely welcome. There’s nothing better than racing in front of your friends and family! Spectator tickets can be purchased online and on site (card payment only).
Add “Race with a Friend” to your shopping cart when you place your order if you want to make sure you start with friends or family members at the same time (that means in the same starting wave). Whether it’s a head-to-head race or emotional support – Race with a Friend makes it possible! Important: You can start together with another athlete in the same starting wave, as long as you register for the same SINGLE division (not cross-gender). Only one participant has to pay the additional fee.
You can purchase event photos while buying your ticket. If you don’t do this during ticket purchase, don’t worry.
1-2 days after the event, you’ll receive an email with a link where you can view your race photos and make a purchase.
All changes to the ticket must be made or reported at least 8 days before the event, which means by Thursday of the week preceding the week in which the event takes place
