World Championships

The HYROX World Championships are the pinnacle of each HYROX season, where the fastest racers from around the world come together to battle it out for the highly sought after title of ‘Age Group World Champion’.

The qualification process for the World Championships is simple.

Racers can qualify at any of the global HYROX races by achieving one of the top placings in their respective age group and division. Please note that qualification is only possible for athletes who compete in the Pro Division (except for 60+ Athletes, Doubles Mixed Division and all athletes who qualify at a Regional Championship). The number of qualifying spots available at each race is dependent on the total number of participants at the same.

If an athlete who has already qualified & registered for the World Championships qualifies again at another race in the same division, this qualification place will automatically be offered to the next ranking athlete in the roll-down. It is possible to qualify for the same World Championships in both the Pro Singles and Pro Doubles Divisions. Each qualification is treated independently, provided all criteria are met in each division.

Doubles Athletes must compete at the World Championships with the same partner they qualified with. Team substitutions are not permitted.

All qualified athletes will be notified of the World Championship qualification via email, and will have 72 hours to secure their spot. If they do not secure their spot within this time-frame, their qualification will be offered to the next athlete in the roll-down.

You may not change the registration neither in respect of your participation, the division you are competing in nor the start time that will be assigned to you.
