HYROX Rulebook

HYROX: A Standardised Global Sport with Official Rankings and Governance

HYROX is more than just a fitness race—it is a fully recognised global sport governed by strict rules, standardised formats, and official worldwide rankings. Whether competing as an individual, in a pair, or as part of a relay team, every athlete is held to the same rigorous standards, ensuring fairness and consistency across all events worldwide.

To maintain this standard, HYROX publishes comprehensive rulebooks for each division. These documents outline all competition regulations, workout standards, movement requirements, and judging protocols. Athletes are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the relevant rules before participating:

• HYROX Singles Rulebook

• HYROX Doubles Rulebook

• HYROX Relay Rulebook

• HYROX Adaptive Rulebook

At each HYROX event, the integrity and smooth operation of the race are overseen by a team of experienced Head Judges. These individuals are collectively responsible for ensuring that all eight workout stations and the running course are conducted in line with official competition standards.

Supporting the Head Judges is a large pool of trained event judges, who carefully monitor athlete performance, enforce movement standards, and ensure that all competitors are held accountable to the same rules. Their presence is vital in upholding the credibility of HYROX as a global sport.

This structure of governance and standardisation reinforces HYROX's status as a competitive sport, where results are not only recognised locally but also |contriute to global rankings and qualifications for championship events.
