HYROX® 2026
The HYROX 2026 season features over 30 global events from September 2025 through June 2026. With 10+ US races, enhanced leaderboards, and World Championship qualifiers at every stop, the 2026 campaign is the biggest in the sport's history.
Overview
The HYROX® 2026 season represents the largest global expansion in the sport's history. With events spanning six continents and dozens of cities, the 2025/2026 campaign builds on record participation numbers from the previous season. Whether you are a first-time racer eyeing an Open division finish or a seasoned competitor chasing a World Championship qualifier, the 2026 calendar has a race for you.
The season kicked off in late 2025 with early European events and runs through June 2026, culminating in the World Championships. In the United States alone, events are scheduled across major cities including New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Boston, Atlanta, Anaheim, and Washington DC.
Event Details
The 2026 season follows the standard HYROX® format: 8 km of running broken into eight 1 km segments, each followed by a functional workout station. Divisions available at most events include Open Men, Open Women, Pro Men, Pro Women, Doubles, and Relay teams. Select events also feature age-group waves.
New for 2026, HYROX® has introduced enhanced leaderboard integration and improved Roxzone layouts at several venues. Expected participation across the full global season exceeds 250,000 athletes, with individual US events drawing anywhere from 1,500 to 4,000 participants.
Registration & Pricing
Registration for 2026 events opens on a rolling basis, typically 4 to 6 months before each race date. Early-bird pricing for individual entries ranges from approximately $100 to $130, while standard registration runs $140 to $200 depending on the city and division. Doubles and Relay entries carry per-person pricing at a slight discount.
All registration is handled through the official HYROX® website. Spots at popular venues like NYC, Chicago, and Miami tend to sell out several weeks in advance, so early registration is strongly recommended.
What to Expect
Each 2026 event is held in a large indoor venue - convention centers, expo halls, or arenas - with a fully built-out course. Athletes can expect a professional race-day experience including chip timing, live leaderboards, warm-up areas, and a post-race recovery zone. Spectator access is typically free or included with a small event-day ticket.
The 2026 season also features improved athlete tracking through the HYROX® app, giving friends and family real-time split updates throughout the race.
Travel Tips
With events spread across the US calendar from fall through spring, travel planning is straightforward. Most venues are in major metropolitan areas with strong airport connectivity. Book accommodation early for popular weekends - HYROX® events in cities like NYC and Miami coincide with high-demand travel periods. Many athletes choose hotels within walking distance of the venue to simplify race-morning logistics.
