What is a good HYROX Doubles time? Average times for men's, women's and mixed doubles

A good HYROX Doubles time is anything faster than about 1:22, the median for Open Doubles teams across more than 425,000 finishes analyzed by HYROX Data Lab. Typical finishes are about 1:15 to 1:19 for men's doubles, 1:21 to 1:25 for mixed and 1:25 to 1:28 for women's doubles, depending on the dataset. A top-quarter team goes under about 1:13, and a top-10% team under about 1:06. Below: benchmarks for every doubles category, how doubles compare to solo, where pairs lose time, and target splits for sub-60, sub-70, sub-80 and sub-90.

What is a good HYROX Doubles time?

It depends on your category, because men's, mixed and women's doubles finish several minutes apart. HYROX Data Lab's pooled cutoffs (Open and Pro combined) are a top 25% time of 1:12:51 and a top 10% time of 1:06:13. To make those useful per category, we shifted them by how far each category's median sits from the overall Open Doubles median.

*Our estimates. Method: Box Life's medians put men's doubles about 6 minutes faster than the overall Open Doubles median, mixed about 1 minute slower and women's about 6 minutes slower. We applied the same shift to HYROX Data Lab's pooled percentile cutoffs and rounded.

They line up with GoWOD's rule of thumb that under 1:15 is a strong men's doubles result and under 1:20 is a competitive women's doubles result.

For a first doubles race, don't chase any of these. Finishing together, running evenly and learning your handovers is the win. Most pairs take a big chunk off their second race.

Average HYROX Doubles times by category

Here's what the main published datasets say about typical finishes:

At two spring 2026 events analyzed by HYROX Data Lab, the medians were about 1:15 for men's doubles, 1:21 to 1:24 for mixed and about 1:26 for women's doubles. Individual races vary by a few minutes with the venue, floor and run layout, so compare yourself with your own race as well as the averages.

At the sharp end, the fastest Pro Doubles men's teams have gone under 48 minutes, according to GoWOD.

Why is Pro Doubles faster than Open Doubles?

Pro Doubles uses heavier loads, yet its median is about 7 minutes faster. Same reason as in solo racing: Pro fields are mostly experienced, very fit athletes, while Open Doubles includes many first-timers and friends racing for fun. Pro Doubles pools men's and women's teams, too.

What about the weights?

Doubles don't halve the loads. Each category uses the singles weights: Open loads for women's and men's doubles, the men's loads (the same as Women Pro) for mixed, and Pro loads for Pro Doubles. That's why mixed doubles is slower than men's doubles, as the woman on the team moves the heavier sled and sandbag and uses the 6 kg wall ball. See the divisions guide for the full breakdown.

How do Doubles times compare to solo HYROX times?

Doubles is typically 8 to 12 minutes faster than the equivalent solo division. Using Box Life's medians:

Why only 8 to 12 minutes, when you're sharing every station? Because you still run every kilometer, all 8 km of it, and running is about half of a typical race. Sharing the stations saves a lot of time there, and less fatigue helps your runs a little, but the running total doesn't shrink much.

A rough way to predict your doubles time: take your solo time, then subtract 8 to 12 minutes if you and your partner are similar. If your partner is a lot slower on the run, subtract less.

Where do Doubles teams lose time?

Mostly on the runs, in the Roxzone and at handovers, not on the stations themselves.

1. Running at the slower partner's pace. You must run every 1 km together, and running ahead earns a 1-minute penalty. So your team's running total is set by whoever is slower that day. A 30-second-per-km gap between partners costs about 4 minutes over eight runs if the faster runner simply waits.

2. Overcooking the stations. The working partner can go harder than in a solo race, but the next kilometer is shared. A partner who goes too deep on the sled push makes the run after it slower for both of you.

3. Transitions and the Roxzone. You enter and leave every station together, so the slower partner sets the pace through the transition too. Waiting for a drink or a re-tied shoe costs both of you.

4. Slow handovers. On the SkiErg, row and wall balls, many teams switch 5 to 10 times. A few seconds lost at each switch adds up to a minute or more across the race.

5. Penalties. Every togetherness penalty is a full minute, and more than three takes you out of the rankings.

HYROX Doubles time breakdown: target splits for sub-60, 70, 80 and 90

There are no published doubles target splits, so we built them from HYROX Data Lab's solo targets with two assumptions. First, doubles runs are about 4% slower than solo targets for the same finish time, because the pair runs at the slower partner's pace. Second, the Roxzone takes about 30 seconds longer, because you both move through it together. The stations make up the rest, which is fine, since they're shared.

All rows are our estimates, not published figures. Treat them as a starting plan and adjust after your first race.

How to use them:

• Check the runs against your slower partner. If their comfortable compromised pace is slower than the per-km figure, that's your limit. Plan around it.
• Split the station total unevenly. The farmers carry and sled push are short; the wall balls, burpee broad jumps, sled pull and lunges are long. Shared work makes the long stations much quicker than in solo racing.
• Treat the Roxzone as free time to win. Walk the layout before your wave and agree who carries what.

Plug your numbers into the HYROX pace calculator for per-run and per-station targets. It's built for solo splits, so apply it to your team's run pace.

How to find where your team lost time

Your official result lists every run, every station and your Roxzone total, the same as a solo result. You can reach the results page from https://hyrox.com/ Sit down together after the race and compare:

• Run splits 1 to 8. If they fade by more than 10 to 15% from the first to the last, you went out too fast or overspent at the stations.
• Station times against the totals in the table above. A station that's far over target is the one to rehearse.
• Roxzone total. If it's well over the table's figure, practice your transitions together.

Third-party tools such as Hyranking also show percentile ranks for running, stations and Roxzone for doubles teams, which makes the weak spot easy to see.

FAQ

What is a good HYROX time for doubles?

Anything under about 1:22 beats the median Open Doubles team, according to HYROX Data Lab. By category, typical finishes are about 1:15 to 1:19 for men's doubles, 1:21 to 1:25 for mixed and 1:25 to 1:28 for women's doubles. Under about 1:13 is roughly top 25%, and under 1:06 is roughly top 10%.

What is the average HYROX Doubles time?

HYROX Data Lab's analysis of 425,242 doubles finishes puts the Open Doubles average at 1:24:05 and the median at 1:21:59. Pro Doubles averages 1:17:44, with a median of 1:15:03.

What is the average time for men's, women's and mixed doubles?

Box Life Magazine's analysis of the Pyrox dataset gives medians of 1:16:13 for men's doubles, 1:23:05 for mixed and 1:28:13 for women's doubles. GoWOD's approximate averages are 1:19, 1:25 and 1:28.

Is HYROX Doubles faster than singles?

Yes, usually by 8 to 12 minutes for the median athlete, because partners share the station work. You still run all 8 km together, which is why the difference isn't bigger.

What splits do you need for a sub-70 HYROX Doubles?

By our estimate, about 37:15 of running (around 4:39 per km), 26:15 on the stations and 6:30 in the Roxzone. The running pace has to be comfortable for the slower partner.

What is a HYROX Doubles time breakdown for sub-60 or sub-80?

Our estimates: sub-60 is about 33:00 running (4:08 per km), 22:00 stations and 5:00 Roxzone. Sub-80 is about 41:20 running (5:10 per km), 31:10 stations and 7:30 Roxzone.

Where do doubles teams lose the most time?

On the runs, because the pair runs at the slower partner's pace, and in transitions and handovers. Overspending at a station also slows the next shared run. Giving the stronger runner a bit more station work usually helps.
