HYROX is a fitness race that combines 8 intervals of running with 8 functional workout stations — the same format at every race in the world, so your training translates everywhere.
It rewards people who already lift and run, but it's approachable for anyone willing to put in the specific preparation. If pure running has ever felt like something's missing, this is probably what you've been looking for.
A fitness race combining 8km of running with 8 functional workout stations. Think gym meets race day — in a stadium, with hundreds of athletes going simultaneously.
