HYROX is a global fitness race that combines running and functional fitness exercises into one challenging, exciting event. Known as “The Fitness Race for Everybody,” HYROX is designed for all fitness levels, from first-time participants to elite athletes.
HYROX was founded in 2017 in Germany by Christian Toetzke, an entrepreneur with a passion for endurance sports, and Moritz Fürste, an Olympic Gold Medalist in field hockey. Their vision was to create a standardized fitness competition that tests both endurance and strength while remaining inclusive for everyone — whether you're new to fitness or training competitively. Today, HYROX events are held in cities around the world, attracting thousands of athletes who share the same goal: pushing their limits and achieving their personal best.
