The competition merges endurance running with fun, high-intensity functional workouts. With no qualifying times required and events held in high-energy indoor arenas, HYROX fosters a unique atmosphere of inclusivity and athletic comradery for all participants.
To kick off the new season, HYROX and Shapes are launching the “Shapes x HYROX” performance edition, designed exclusively for HYROX athletes.
