I was recently updating the event calendar on the blog and I came across some events called 'HYROX'. I can't remember seeing that name before so I was wondering what was it all about?
It turns out that HYROX is a sport which involves doing eight 1km runs with various exercises at the end of each km
This is the usual format...
1 km of running & 1km of SkiErg
1 km of running & 50m of sled push[21]
1 km of running & 50m of sled pull
1 km of running & 80m of burpee broad jump
1 km of running & 1km of rowing
1 km of running & 200m of kettlebell farmer carry
1 km of running & 100m of sandbag walking lunge
1 km of running & 100 wall balls
1 km of running & 1km of SkiErg
1 km of running & 50m of sled push[21]
1 km of running & 50m of sled pull
1 km of running & 80m of burpee broad jump
1 km of running & 1km of rowing
1 km of running & 200m of kettlebell farmer carry
1 km of running & 100m of sandbag walking lunge
1 km of running & 100 wall balls
It first started in Germany in 2018 and it has now spread to many countries.
Considering that the event is indoors and in loops, it's not hard to see why it might be more spectator friendly than say a road race or triathlon.
There is a two day HYROX event coming up at Ballymaloe in east Cork on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September 2025.
