It was a busy week on the global circuit with four major events across three continents. As the 2026/27 HYROX season continues to gain momentum, athletes are pushing for crucial qualification points while setting new benchmarks for the year ahead. |
News & UpdatesThe adidas x ATHX Games has officially signed with CrossFit as a Partner Event Series. This new category of partnership follows the inclusion of XENOM, the Decathlon of Fitness, as the first event series of its kind. While no specific details regarding the impact on athlete qualification have been announced, the event format remains unchanged. It consists of a 2.5 hour session covering Strength, Endurance, and Metcon-X zones, with consistent workouts maintained throughout the season. Athletes compete in PRO, ATHX, or LITE levels as individuals or pairs, with LITE restricted to pairs. Upcoming stops include Liverpool, Miami Beach, Houston, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, and Lisbon. Registration is currently open at athxgames.com. Via The Barbell Spin. |
COMMUNITY Where do you rank among everyone who races?The official HYROX ranking covers the licensed Elite. The TrainRox League covers the rest of us: every athlete with a finish in Open, Pro or Elite, singles and doubles, on five leaderboards (Singles Men, Singles Women, Doubles Men, Doubles Women and Doubles Mixed). No license needed, and you are already on it. Your best three races of the last 365 days make your TrainRox points, and your points put you in a tier, from Bronze to Diamond. Every time is compared with a fixed benchmark and corrected for how fast the course ran, never with the winner, so a strong field does not cost you anything. Raced only once? A race you have not run yet counts for 85% of your average, so you are ranked too, and a bad race never lowers your points. Points update the night after each event ends. |
