Running Workout
The Running station is integral to HYROX, challenging athletes with intervals of running between each of the other workout stations. This tests not only the endurance but also the ability to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race.
HYROX offers 4 divisions. The divisions differ in gender, repetition and/or weight. The running distance remains the same across all divisions: everyone must run 1 km between each workout for a total distance of 8 km. Participants start in waves based on their division. The start always takes place exclusively with participants of the same division.
