What is HYROX? - A Guide by Red Dot Running Company

HYROX is a global fitness competition that combines running with functional workouts and is designed for every fitness level. Originating in Germany, HYROX has quickly spread worldwide, offering a unique challenge for both amateur and elite athletes. Each race consists of eight 1km running segments and eight workout stations, testing endurance, strength, and agility.

The HYROX Experience 

Participants can expect a series of workouts, including sled pushes, rowing, burpee broad jumps, and more, interleaved with running. The consistent format worldwide allows athletes to compare their times directly with competitors globally, making it a physical challenge and a global leaderboard battle.

With four different categories to choose from, HYROX provides options for everyone to join in the sport. Whether you are looking to take on HYROX by yourself in the Open or Pro category, or to share the experience with a teammate in the Doubles Categories, or split HYROX four ways in the Team Relay category, you will be able to find a race for you.
