What is Hyrox?

Hyrox is a unique global fitness race designed for athletes of all levels, combining running and functional workout stations.

It consists of eight 1-kilometre runs, each followed by a functional workout. 

These workouts include a variety of exercises such as rowing, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, farmer’s carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls, and ski erg.
