The Fitness Competition Taking the World by Storm

HYROX combines running with functional fitness in a standardized competition format that's accessible to athletes of all levels. Here's everything you need to know.

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a fitness race consisting of 8 x 1km runs, each followed by a functional workout station:

  • 1km Run + SkiErg
  • 1km Run + Sled Push
  • 1km Run + Sled Pull
  • 1km Run + Burpee Broad Jumps
  • 1km Run + Rowing
  • 1km Run + Farmers Carry
  • 1km Run + Sandbag Lunges
  • 1km Run + Wall Balls

Why HYROX?

Standardized Format: Unlike other fitness competitions, HYROX is identical worldwide. Your time in Cyberjaya can be compared to athletes in Berlin or New York.

Accessible to All: Whether you complete it in 60 minutes or 90, HYROX welcomes all fitness levels. There are also relay and doubles categories.

Functional Fitness: The movements translate directly to real-life strength and endurance—no specialized skills required.

Community Driven: HYROX events create incredible atmosphere and camaraderie among participants.

Getting Started with HYROX Training

Build Your Base: Start with consistent running (3-4 times weekly) and basic strength training.

Learn the Movements: Practice each station exercise with proper form before adding intensity.

Progressive Overload: Gradually increase volume and intensity over 12-16 weeks.

Train the Transitions: Moving from running to strength exercises is challenging—practice these shifts.
