HYROX event calendar revealed – where to race this season
Thinking about putting your fitness to the ultimate test? Check the HYROX season calendar to find an event near you.
HYROX has swept the fitness world by storm, combining functional exercises with running intervals in a challenging and competitive format that's achievable regardless of age or ability.
Since the first HYROX Hamburg in 2018, the fitness racing series has exploded in popularity and spread far and wide. For its seventh season, there will be a HYROX event on five continents for the first time – HYROX Cape Town in September is the first to be held in Africa – while countries such as Canada and Belgium will also host their debut events. The 2024–25 season will also see the return of athlete favourite events, while many are expanding to cope with the increased demand.
As well as being a sport that's open to all, each HYROX event gives participants the chance to qualify for the HYROX World Championship. All they have to do is win their division's age group. But which division is right for you?

HYROX race divisions
Each HYROX event has three different race divisions – Singles, Doubles and Relay – but all follow a similar format. There are also Open and Pro categories within the singles and doubles divisions, while each is broken down further by age group. This enables athletes to compete alongside all ages, but see how their results compare to competitors of a similar age bracket.
The race itself splits eight functional workout stations with eight 1km runs and all are completed in the same order regardless of division or category. As there’s no time limit, this makes HYROX open to all abilities, while there are easier and harder categories to compete in depending on your fitness and experience.
Singles Open
The easier of the two individual formats, Open is a solo event that sees each competitor complete all eight functional workout stations and eight 1km runs. Where it differentiates from the Pro format is the weight of equipment used during five of the eight stations.

Singles Pro
The hardest format in HYROX, the pro division sees individuals tasked with shifting huge weights at each functional fitness station. The fastest pro athletes can qualify for the Elite 15 – a separate series that pits the 15 best HYROX athletes in the world against each other at several events throughout the season, with the best qualifying for the HYROX World Championship.

Doubles
The doubles division can be taken on as an all-women, all-men or mixed team – although in a mixed event, the weights are the same as those in the women's singles pro category. While both members of the doubles team have to complete all eight of the 1km runs, they can share the work at the functional fitness stations, making it arguably easier than the equivalent singles event as there's some opportunity to rest and recover between efforts

Relay is the most beginner-friendly HYROX division and is a great way for first-timers to get a taste of the action before moving onto doubles or even singles events. Completed in teams of four, each team member needs to complete two legs – a leg being comprising of a functional workout station and a 1km run.

The Spanish capital is home to a fast and furious course, and witnessed two world records during its March 2024 event – Tiago Lousa setting a 56m 36s in the Men’s Open (40-44) and Maria Pilar Serna Urnicia with a 1h 16m 55s in the Women’s Open (60-64).

November 2-3: HYROX Hamburg – Hamburg, Germany
