HYROX by the Numbers

Average times, station splits, and where the race is really won — from thousands of real finishes.

What a HYROX race is

A HYROX race is the same everywhere in the world: 8 × 1 km runs, each followed by one functional workout station. You run, you work, you run again — eight times — and the clock never stops, including the time you spend moving between the run and each station (the roxzone).

The eight stations always come in the same order:

  1. SkiErg — 1,000 m
  2. Sled Push
  3. Sled Pull
  4. Burpee Broad Jumps
  5. Rowing — 1,000 m
  6. Farmers Carry
  7. Sandbag Lunges
  8. Wall Balls

Because the format is fixed, every finish time in the world is directly comparable — which is exactly what makes the numbers interesting.

Where the time actually goes

Split the average finish into its parts and a clear picture appears: the runs dominate, and the roxzone quietly costs more than any single workout.

Running (8 × 1 km)38:2447.3%
All 8 stations~35:4343.3%
Roxzone (transitions)7:379.4%

The single biggest workout — Wall Balls — averages 6:28. The roxzone costs more than that, and it's the easiest place to find free time.

Common questions

How long does a HYROX take?
For singles, the median man finishes in about 1 hour 22 minutes and the median woman in about 1 hour 34 minutes. Most finishers land between roughly 1:08 and 1:45.
Is HYROX more running or more strength?
More running. Across thousands of finishes the 8 × 1 km runs make up 47–48% of total race time — close to half — while the eight stations together account for a bit over 40%.
What is the roxzone?
The roxzone is the transition area you cross between each run and each station. The clock keeps running, and it adds up: on average it accounts for 9.4% of a finish — about 7 to 8.5 minutes.
