... and they improved so much. Toilets, bag drop, so many nice volunteers. The stretch over 2 weekends is such a good way to reduce the sheer volume of people at the venue. The course is improved as well and I think it is the best layout that you can race - one round, easy rox zone and very logical set-ups.
Well done Hyrox - I really enjoyed this one.
Current Dilemma. My girlfriend and I have individual tickets for Open Solo for both men and women on June 1 and we also have a mixed doubles ticket on June 3.
As the race day fast approaches, we are doubting if it is advisable to do both races with only 1 day rest considering the recovery time we need to perform effectively on each event. We are comfortable of selling one and do one race for us to experience but before that, does any of you have experience of doing 2 races in a week?
I know it depends on the fitness level. I recently finished the Brooklyn Half Marathon last May 16, finished in 1hr and 56mins cruised the whole race at 161bpm so endurance is there. I can also comfortably run under 4:45/km in short runs and I regularly lift weights so I can say I am physically fit but I wonder what will be the toll to my body after the solo open on june 1st. What do yall think? Should we sell the mixed doubles and do the open or the other way around?
Will temperatures be extremely hot and humid during race days even if it's indoors? Trying to decide which hyrox race in Asia to join. I've read it can get extremely hot even indoors and that will make the race extra challenging.
Anyone know, how long the run lap in Berlin is? I was wondering about my run splits. But i think it is because the run lap is short and the roxzone very long. So anybody knows how long from out to in?
Hello,
does anyone know whether the spectator tickets are also with a chip for payments? Or just regular bracelets? Thanks!
I know there are daily people suggesting their app here and it’s for people who found their way exhausting. I struggled to decide if I want to post my app or not but I because I made this app for me and I like it a lot and use it every day it maybe can help others as well. Haters can downvote if they want to 😉 but why not show some love and support instead of hating. Tell me what you miss!
The App: GritRace.
Four Formats in one App: HYROX, Deadly Dozen, Deka and ATHX.
You can track races, build individual training Plans, and use your loved external ai to import your perfect plan!
No account, no data collection and only if you like your AI will know your Data.
Indoor Pace will be showing without GPS. ( that was the trigger why I started to develop the App)
It’s build for IPhone and Apple Watch, but it’s also possible to track on IPhone and parallel on your Garmin. It will merge together after the workout.
Try it and tell me what you are missing and I will implement it. Let’s make a Community App out of GritRace! :)
Cheers!

Hi everyone. My wife and I just signed up for Hyrox Denver! We’ve done crossfit, triathlons, half marathons, but never Hyrox! We are very excited and I had several newb questions:
Thank you all!!!
I bought a Flex ticket for Hyrox Berlin because unfortunately, my partner for a previous race got injured during training and we had to cancel our event. I wanted the flexibility this time around.
My first partner had a death in the family and couldn't fly from the US. I used my one permitted name change to bring in a backup. That backup was then diagnosed with chickenpox this week. I attached the doctor's note to my support request.
I asked for one additional name change. The support agents - Ines and Katharina - first spent time repeatedly telling me I hadn't purchased a Flex ticket, which was factually incorrect. Once that was cleared up, four days of back and forth produced nothing but a list of things I couldn't do, despite me repeatedly asking what my options were:
Not once did either of them suggest a solution or an alternative path forward. After all of that, their final answer was that my only option was to cancel and take a 50% refund.
I already have flights and accommodation booked for Berlin. I've been training for months. I don't even care that much about the cost of the event, it's more that I was looking forward to my first Hyrox and opportunity to compete.
The crazy piece: Hyrox Berlin's current position implies that a contagious athlete is better off showing up to a crowded public event than staying home, because at least then the ticket doesn't go to waste. I have already paid for two spaces. We are 10 days out. Making one additional name change costs them nothing vs. losing a potential repeat customer. The policy just doesn't make any sense.
If you're buying a Flex ticket for Hyrox Berlin expecting real flexibility in genuinely unforeseeable circumstances, be warned: it doesn't work that way in practice.

I just signed up for my first Hyrox competition! I am an avid lifter, usually in the gym 5-6 days a week and am doing some cardio once a week or so (definitely need to make this more of a priority). Does anyone have a training program they like or how they would adjust training?
Hi! If you've done doubles where one partner is better at strength stations and one is better at cardio/running, how did you split the stations?
I'm the weightlifter in this scenario and my partner will certainly find the runs easier than me (since we have to stick together). We're planning for her to finish each station so I get a break before each run.
I'm worried that she'll be counting on me to take more of the strength work, but that I might be too gassed from the runs to be very helpful. I'm thinking frequent switches might help me more - like 1-2 reps on burpees, or is that impractical? I'd love to hear from people who have been in this situation, how did you split it?
(Oh, and I know the ideal answer is "practice together" but we can't! We live in different cities and won't be able to meet up until race day.)
I made a website that (I hope) can help newer athletes prep for HYROX Denver.
Let me know your thoughts!
Website says 3 laps now. Don’t see a map yet
Being a beginner and not competed in HYROX yet 🙂.
what’s been your biggest challenge as a woman training and competing in HYROX?
Hiya Fellas, planning to get these shoes however I can only get it online and I’d just like to know how’s the sizing on the Deviate Elite 4 Hyrox? I’m a wide footed size US10 and have raced on Deviate Elite 03 at Size 10.5 since 10s are quite tight.
Thanks!
Anyone else feel like sled work gives a different kind of leg fatigue?
Running soreness I understand. Squat soreness I understand. But after heavier sled push and pull sessions my legs get this heavy, dead feeling that carries into the next day in a way that messes with easy runs.
What are you doing between HYROX sessions to keep legs usable? I’ve seen icebound essentials wireless boots come up a few times, and they seem like one of the better options if the goal is getting legs to feel fresh again between hard sessions.Easy bike, walking, compression boots, mobility, more food, or just spacing hard sessions better?
Hello,
I’ve been currently training with the OnCloud Cloudsurfer 2 and I’m looking to find a day of shoe to compete. Something good for traction with the turf. I’m torn between the adidas adizero SL 2 or the PUMA Men's Deviate Nitro 4. Not sure what to do here. First HYROX Men’s Single Open
