Racing Guide
Everything you need to know about the Hyrox race format — from understanding the basics to executing a smart race-day strategy.
A Hyrox race consists of 8 rounds of 1km running, each followed by one functional workout station. The stations are always in the same order and use standardised weights, so you can train specifically for what's coming. Whether you're running your first race or chasing a personal best, the guides below cover everything: what each station demands, how to pace your effort, which category to enter, and a complete step-by-step race day plan.
