ELITE 15 World Championship

A Pinnacle Moment for HYROX Elite Competition

The Doubles category has become the most popular format in HYROX races worldwide, with over 50% of competitors choosing to race as a team. Since the launch of the Pro Doubles category in January 2024, it has seen explosive growth, with thousands of athletes taking part.

Now, due to overwhelming demand, the Pro Doubles Elite 15 World Championship gives this exciting format its own spotlight moment in the HYROX season — standing proudly alongside the long-established and prestigious Elite 15 Singles World Championship, which continues to showcase the top individual athletes in the sport.

Together, these two elite categories represent the highest level of HYROX competition — whether you race alone or as part of a team.

How to Qualify for the Pro Doubles Elite 15 World Championship & Elite 15 World Championships

The Pro Doubles Elite 15 World Championship will feature the world’s top male and female doubles teams, while the Elite 15 Singles World Championship will continue to showcase the best individual HYROX athletes.

To qualify for either World Championship, athletes must meet the following criteria:

Qualification Rules

• Top 3 podium finishers (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) at each of the listed Major Events will qualify directly for either the Pro Doubles Elite 15 or the Elite 15 Singles races, depending on the category they raced in, at the World Championships.
• The pairs of male and female racers who achieve Podium place 1 of each Regional Championship become directly qualified for the Double Elite 15 race at the World Championships.

This qualification pathway ensures that only the most elite athletes – both individuals and doubles teams – earn a spot to compete for the ultimate titles at the World Championship.

Important Notes

• No Mixed Doubles Category
  The official Elite Doubles Division currently includes only Male and Female categories. Mixed-gender teams are not eligible for qualification or ranking. However, HYROX reserves the right to introduce a Pro Mixed Doubles exhibition race at select events or championships.
• Same Partner Rule
  Doubles Athletes must compete at the World Championships with the same partner they qualified with. Team substitutions are not permitted under any circumstances.
• One Qualification per Athlete
  Your qualification is tied to the original athlete pairing from your qualifying Doubles race result. You cannot qualify multiple times with different teammates. If your original Doubles team is unable to compete, the qualification does not automatically transfer to another teammate combination from a later race.
