How the TrainRox League works
Contents
1. The short version
- Every race you finish is worth up to 100 race points.
- Your TrainRox points come from your best three races of the last 365 days, up to 300.
- Your points put you in a tier, from Bronze to Diamond.
- Everyone is on it: Open, Pro and Elite, first race or fiftieth. No license needed.
2. How many points is a race worth?
We compare your time with a benchmark set at the best HYROX pace on record. Match it and the race is worth 100 race points. The further you are from it, the fewer you keep, and big gaps count for more than small ones.
| Men's Open time | Points |
|---|---|
| 55:00 | 75.35 |
| 60:00 | 63.32 |
| 66:00 | 52.33 |
| 75:00 | 40.52 |
| 90:00 | 28.14 |
For the curious: race points = 100 × (benchmark ÷ your time)². Squaring is what makes a big gap cost more than a small one.
3. The benchmark
100 race points is a men's Pro time of 51:54 on a typical course, and a women's Pro time of 54:59. That is the best pace HYROX has seen once every course is corrected for how fast it ran (more on that below). It is a benchmark, not a record: it does not belong to anyone, and a result is compared with it after its own course is corrected.
Open uses lighter weights, so the same effort is faster there, and 100 race points in Open is a 47:45 for men. That is a conversion, not a time anyone has run: the fastest Open time on record is 50:38 (Köln, 13 Apr 2024), worth 88.91 race points. The conversion is an average over thousands of athletes who race both divisions, and at the very top Open and Pro are closer than that.
The benchmarks stay fixed until we recalibrate, which we announce (the current ones were set on 17 Sep 2026). A faster run before then is simply worth more than 100.
4. Pro and Elite
Athletes who race both divisions are about 8% faster in Open than in Pro. That measured gap, not a number we picked, sets the Pro benchmark. Among the very fastest the gap is a little smaller, closer to 7%, and we are watching whether it should vary by level. Elite 15 races use Pro weights and are compared with the Pro benchmark. There is no bonus for the division label.
5. Slow and fast courses
Heat, humidity, altitude and a tight running loop all cost time. For each event we compare the finishers who raced elsewhere in the previous year with their own usual times. If they ran 2% slower as a group, every time from that event is corrected by 2%.
We never compare you with the winner of your race. A strong field does not cost you points and a weak one does not hand you any: your points depend on your time and the course, not on who else was racing.
6. Why three races
Most of you race once or twice a year, so five would leave the top tiers to a few people who travel every month. One race was not enough either: anyone can have a perfect day, or a terrible one.
Think of it as three slots. Your TrainRox points are the three slots added up, out of 300. A race you have not run yet is not worth zero: an empty slot is worth 85% of the average of the races in the other slots. So one race worth 60 gives you 60 + 51 + 51 = 162 points, and two races worth 60 give you 60 + 60 + 51 = 171.
A race only takes a slot when it is worth more than the empty slot. That is why a bad race never lowers your points, and why your profile can list a race that does not count. Say your last year looks like this:
| Slot | Race points |
|---|---|
| Your best race | 80.00 |
| Your second race | 74.00 |
| Empty slot, 85% of 77.00 | 65.45 |
| Your third race, not counted | 64.00 |
| TrainRox points | 219.45 |
Counting that third race would give you 80 + 74 + 64 = 218, so it stays out and you keep 219.45. It would need more than 65.45 to count. About a third of singles men with three or more races have a race like this.
Only one race per event counts, so racing Open on Saturday and Pro on Sunday gives you the better of the two.
7. Tiers
The lines are fixed numbers of points, so 180 points is Diamond this year and next. Each leaderboard has its own lines because the fields differ.
| Tier | Men | Women | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond tier | 180+ | 170+ | top 1% |
| Platinum tier | 130+ | 120+ | top 10% |
| Gold tier | 100+ | 95+ | top 25% |
| Silver tier | 70+ | 65+ | top 60% |
| Bronze tier | under 70 | under 65 | the rest |
Doubles have their own lines, shown on each doubles leaderboard. For a man racing three times, Diamond means averaging under about 1:01:38 in Open; with one race, a single Open under about 58:28 gets there.
8. Level on points?
Points are shown with two decimals, but the order uses the full number. If two athletes are still level, the one with the better single race goes first, then the one who raced more recently. Athletes level on all three share a rank, marked with an equals sign, and the next rank skips ahead, as in any results table.
| 5,032 | Matt Mason | 157.00 |
| =5,033 | Cristian González Cerpa | 156.99 |
| =5,033 | José Domingo Figueroa | 156.99 |
| =5,033 | Juan Sebastian Vaca Grisales | 156.99 |
| 5,036 | Rodney Carter | 156.99 |
A real shared rank from the men's leaderboard on 18 Sep 2026. The names change as people race; the rule does not.
9. Doubles
Men, women and mixed each have a leaderboard. The entry is the pair, so a new partner is a new entry. You can appear on several: solo, with one partner and with another.
10. What counts
Open, Pro, Elite and Elite 15, singles and doubles. Team Relay, Adaptive, GORUCK and Youngstars stay on your profile but earn no points. A result counts once it is on your athlete profile. Points update the night after an event ends.
11. Not official, and when something looks wrong
This is not the HYROX ranking and it qualifies nobody for anything. It is for fun, and so that those of us without a license have a ranking too. Results data is sometimes wrong: two athletes with the same name, a mistyped time. Report a problem with the TrainRox League and we will look.
