What is a HYROX competition?
A HYROX race is a fitness competition featuring eight functional strength and fitness stations with a 1-kilometre run between each. The stations consist of rowing, ski erg, farmer’s carry, burpee broad jumps, sled push, sled pull, weighted walking lunges and wall balls.
There are four different events that you can enter:
✓ Solo
✓ Same-sex doubles
✓ Mixed doubles
✓ 4-person relay
Each of these events has two division, Open and Pro. This will determine the weights of the strength aspects, however the distances on the cardio stations and runs always remains the same.
