• Open Division – Ideal for those wanting to experience the full HYROX challenge at a more accessible level.

• Doubles Division – A shared experience where two participants split the workout stations and run together.

• Relay Division – Perfect for teams of four, with each member completing part of the course.

• Adaptive Division – Created for athletes with physical or neurological disabilities, the Adaptive Division offers modified movement standards and personalized support to ensure everyone can compete safely and successfully. Whether you're an experienced adaptive athlete or trying your first fitness race, HYROX Adaptive is built to meet you where you are—while still pushing your limits.

Whether you are new to fitness races or a lifelong athlete, HYROX provides a platform to push your limits and compete alongside thousands of others around the world.

No Qualification. No Time Cap. Just You vs. the Challenge.

One of HYROX’s core principles is accessibility. There are no qualification requirements and no time limits, meaning every participant has the freedom to complete the race at their own pace. Your only competition is yourself—and the goal is to finish.

Age is no barrier either. HYROX proudly celebrates athletes across all life stages. In fact, our oldest competitor to date is 73 years old, continuing to train, compete, and inspire others by proving that fitness has no expiration date.
