What are the HYROX race categories and what HYROX division is right for me?
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. But which division is right for you? And what about the pros? Discover the surprising athletic paths some of HYROX’s top performers took before stepping onto the race floor.
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.

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

Pairs like Jake Dearden and Marc Dean both run the 8km, but split stations
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 HYROX World Championships represent the peak of each season, bringing together the world’s fastest racers to compete for the prestigious title of Age Group World Champion.
For the 2024-25 season, qualification was straightforward. Athletes could secure their spot by placing among the top finishers in their age group and division at any global HYROX race. The number of qualification slots varied based on the total number of participants at each event.
Starting from the 2025–26 season, only Pro Division athletes will be eligible to qualify for the World Championships, except for the 60+ Age Categories and Regional Championships (Europe, US & Asia-Pacific), where Open Division athletes can still qualify. Doubles Mixed qualification remains unchanged. These changes are designed to raise the bar and increase the prestige of the event.
