On November 12–15, thousands of athletes will compete in the world's most prestigious fitness competition as HYROX makes its long-awaited Denver debut.

Courses
| Course | Distance |
|---|---|
| 8 × 1 km koşu + 8 istasyon | 8 km |
Single course: 8 × 1 km koşu + 8 istasyon.
HYROX course: 8 × 1 km run + 8 stations
The course is the same at every HYROX race: run 1 km, do a station, run 1 km again; the sequence repeats eight times. That is 8 km of running and eight stations, and the transition area (Roxzone) between run and station counts towards your time. Order, distances and loads below are from the HYROX Single Rulebook, Season 26/27.

Sled loads include the sled. Wall ball target height is 2.70 m for women and 3.00 m for men. Women Pro uses the same loads as Men Open. Doubles Women race with Women Open loads, Doubles Men, Women Pro and Mixed with Men Open loads, Doubles Men Pro with Men Pro loads; both partners run every 1 km together and share the station work as they like. In a Relay team each of the four racers does 2 runs and 2 stations, the split is up to the team.
Finishing tips: where the time goes
- Runs: Most time is lost on the first two runs when they start too fast. Run all eight at the same pace; if your pace has not dropped by the end, you started right.
- SkiErg: Pull with the hips, not the arms: hinge forward and let the arms finish long. Feet leaving the base plate earn a warning first, then 15 seconds every time.
- Sled Push: Arms locked, torso low, short quick steps; stopping the sled and restarting it is the most expensive mistake. Do not turn before the whole sled has crossed the 12.5 m line.
- Sled Pull: Pull with your body weight by stepping back rather than with your arms. You must stay standing, kneeling or sitting is not allowed, and do not step on the front or back line of the box.
- Burpee Broad Jump: Jump short and steady, long jumps burn your breath. Both feet take off and land together, a stagger over 5 cm is a no rep, and hands go no more than 30 cm in front of your toes.
- Rowing: Drive with the legs at a low stroke rate with long strokes; the 1,000 m row is where you get your breath back. Damper 6 and footplate 4 are preset, you may change them.
- Farmers Carry: Try to walk the 200 m without putting the kettlebells down; if you do, they must not move forward. Return them to the box with handles upright or take a 30-second penalty.
- Sandbag Lunges: The trailing knee touches the ground on every step, knees and hips fully extend on every rep, no walking between reps. The bag stays on both shoulders; resting it on the floor or a barrier costs 15 seconds.
- Wall Balls: No rep unless the hips drop below the knees, the ball hits the target and every rep starts standing tall. Split the 100 reps into sets from the start (10 to 15 reps, short breath); going for one unbroken set and stalling costs the most time. Shoes may come off, chalk is a 2-minute penalty.
- Roxzone: No resting in the transition area, walk fast. Water is handed out here; gels and other nutrition must be carried from the start, anything taken from outside is a penalty. An incomplete station means disqualification, and a wrong load means repeating the station.

Race plan: what to do leg by leg
Enter your pace, level and transition time to get a target for all 8 runs, 8 transitions and 8 stations, plus where to drink and where to stop and breathe. Times are typical for each level; adjust with your own training data.
Your race kilometre, not your training pace
Level
Total time in and out of the stations
Target
1:30:00
Target finish 1:30:00. Start the first run at 5:42 min/km, slower than target; adrenaline makes the first kilometre feel easy and you pay for it after station three.
| Leg | Target | Elapsed | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run 1 | 5:30 | 5:30 | 10 to 15 seconds slower than target. Let everyone pass you; you will pass them after station three. |
| Roxzone 1 | 1:00 | 6:30 | Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| SkiErg | 5:00 | 11:30 | Steady pace, no surge in the first 200 m. Hinge at the hips, arms finish long; the split should read the same every 500 m. If the arms are full, do 10 pulls from the hips without shaking the arms out; a full stop is not needed. |
| Run 2 | 5:30 | 17:00 | Arms are heavy after the SkiErg but legs are fresh; settle into target pace, no faster. |
| Roxzone 2 | 1:00 | 18:00 | Water. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Sled Push | 3:00 | 21:00 | Two lanes continuous, a short breath at the turn, two more. If you are gasping, stop at the end of the lane, do not force it; 20 seconds of rest and a clean push beats locking up and crawling. If you are gasping, stop at the end of the lane, take three to five breaths, then push. Do not stop mid-lane. |
| Run 3 | 5:30 | 26:30 | After the sled push the legs feel heavy for 200 m; open up with short steps, then target pace. |
| Roxzone 3 | 1:00 | 27:30 | Water. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Sled Pull | 4:00 | 31:30 | Short breath at the start of each lane, then a rhythm of step and pull. When tired, drop the rope, take two breaths, grab it again; no penalty. Dropping the rope for two breaths is allowed and free; stay standing, never sit. |
| Run 4 | 5:30 | 37:00 | After the sled pull your back and hands are tired; shake the arms loose, keep the pace on target. |
| Roxzone 4 | 1:00 | 38:00 | Water + Gel. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Burpee Broad Jump | 6:00 | 44:00 | A short breath every 10 m, medium jumps. Long jumps burn your breath without reducing the rep count. Take an extra breath on the floor; lying at the line costs time, not a penalty. |
| Run 5 | 5:30 | 49:30 | Heart rate is at its peak after the burpees; run the first 300 m deliberately slow, back to target once breathing settles. |
| Roxzone 5 | 1:00 | 50:30 | Water. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Rowing | 4:45 | 55:15 | 24 to 26 long strokes per minute. Do not pull hard; the time lost is small, the breath gained is big. The row is already rest; slow the stroke, do not stop. |
| Run 6 | 5:30 | 1:00:45 | The easiest run, after the row; target pace and nothing more. Seconds gained here are lost in the last two legs. |
| Roxzone 6 | 1:00 | 1:01:45 | Water. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Farmers Carry | 2:15 | 1:04:00 | Try to walk it unbroken; if not, one stop at 150 m. Quick steps, shoulders back. Set them down, five breaths, pick them up; they must not move forward. |
| Run 7 | 5:30 | 1:09:30 | After the farmers carry the shoulders are tight and the hands will not open; drop the shoulders, keep the stride clean. |
| Roxzone 7 | 1:00 | 1:10:30 | Water. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Sandbag Lunges | 5:00 | 1:15:30 | One stop every 50 m. Knees and hips fully extend on every rep, no walking between reps. Stand still with the bag on your shoulders and breathe; never put the bag down anywhere. |
| Run 8 | 5:30 | 1:21:00 | The hardest run: legs burning from the lunges. Short steps, keep running even if the pace drops. Save breath for the wall balls, do not speed up. |
| Roxzone 8 | 1:00 | 1:22:00 | Water. Walk, do not stop. The water table is here; take a sip and bin the cup (littering is a 2-minute penalty). |
| Wall Balls | 8:00 | 1:30:00 | 5 x 20 with a short breath between. Plan the sets from the start; trying 40 and stalling is the most expensive mistake. Put the ball down, stand tall, three breaths; finish the planned set before you stop. |
Water and rest rules
- Water is at every Roxzone pass; sip, do not gulp. Gels and other nutrition must be carried from the start, nothing from outside.
- Stopping is not a penalty, an incomplete station is a disqualification. If you are gasping, stop, take three to five breaths, restart; locking up and crawling is slower.
- Plan your stops, do not stop as a reaction: know at which metre you will stop before entering the station.
- Do not walk the first 100 m out of a station, but start the run slowly; the heart rate drops within 30 seconds.
This plan is based on level averages, not coaching advice; adjust it with your training data.
