# What is a good HYROX time? Averages by division, age and station

For a first HYROX in the Open division, finishing in about 1:30 to 1:50 (men) or 1:40 to 2:00 (women) is a solid, normal result, and anything under 1:30 puts you ahead of the typical finisher. Published race data puts the typical Open finish at roughly 1:28 for men and 1:36 for women. This guide covers how long a race takes, what counts as good in each division and age group, the average time on every station, where most people lose time, how to find your own splits, and the splits you need for sub-90, sub-75 and sub-60.

A quick note on the numbers: this site doesn't publish its own results data. Every figure below comes from independent analyses of public HYROX results (HYROX Data Lab, ROXFIT, the Pyrox dataset and others), and those analyses use different races and seasons. Treat them as approximate benchmarks, not official standards.

## What is a good HYROX time?

A good HYROX time is one that beats your last one. Venues, floors and run layouts differ enough that the same athlete can be several minutes faster or slower from one city to the next. Still, it helps to know where you stand. ROXFIT publishes these broad benchmark ranges, built from general race data:

**Open division**

| Level | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| First-timer / finisher | 1:30–1:50+ | 1:40–2:00+ |
| Solid intermediate | 1:15–1:30 | 1:25–1:40 |
| Strong / competitive | 1:05–1:15 | 1:15–1:25 |
| Elite Open | Under 1:00 | Under 1:10 |

**Pro division**

| Level | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive | 58–65 min | 62–70 min |
| World level | 54–58 min | 57–62 min |
| Elite | Under 54 min | Under 57 min |

ROXFIT also estimates that the same athlete is usually about 3 to 7 minutes slower in Pro than in Open, because the sleds, sandbag and wall ball are heavier.

How to use these:

- **First race:** finishing comfortably and learning the format is the win. Don't chase a number you picked from Instagram.
- **Second or third race:** aim to move up one band. Most people find 5 to 15 minutes in their second race just from better pacing and Roxzone discipline.
- **Thinking about Pro or a World Championships spot:** compare yourself to your age group's results at your own race, not to the overall leaderboard.

## How long does a HYROX race take, and what's the average finish time?

Most people take between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes. The elite men's Pro field finishes in under an hour, and some first-timers take well over two hours. Red Bull's HYROX FAQ notes there's no cut-off time, so you can take as long as you need.

Typical finish times by division, from two large published datasets:

| Division | Typical finish (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Men's Open | 1:28 |
| Women's Open | 1:36 |
| Men's Pro | 1:21 |
| Women's Pro | 1:27 |
| Men's Doubles | 1:16–1:18 |
| Women's Doubles | 1:28–1:29 |
| Mixed Doubles | 1:23–1:24 |

These come from ROXFIT race-results data (reported as averages) and an analysis of about 700,000 results in the open-source Pyrox dataset (reported as medians). Red Bull quotes slightly slower Open averages of 1:35 for men and 1:38 for women, and HYROX Data Lab found a median of about 1:22:44 across all divisions at two Season 8 races.

Two things that surprise people:

- **Pro averages are faster than Open averages,** even though Pro is heavier. Pro fields are mostly experienced, very fit athletes, while Open includes everyone from first-timers to elites.
- **Doubles is faster than singles,** because partners split the station work. They still run every kilometer together.

### Where the time goes

Running is the biggest chunk of your race. HYROX Data Lab's figures put total running for a typical finisher at roughly 40 to 44 minutes, about 45 to 52% of the race, with the Roxzone (the transition area) adding about 7 minutes. The rest is the eight stations. Even for elites, running is more than half the race: Fast Talk Labs' breakdown of two top Pro athletes shows about 29 to 30 minutes of running in finishes of 53 to 56 minutes.

## How do age groups affect a good HYROX time?

Under the 26/27 rulebook, results are ranked overall and within age groups. The groups run in five-year bands: 16–24, 25–29, 30–34 and so on, up to 85–89. Your group is set by your age on race day.

There's no official "good time" per age group, but the data shows a gradual slowdown rather than a cliff:

- ROXFIT's rough rule of thumb is to **add about 5 to 8 minutes per decade** when you compare yourself with younger athletes.
- HYROX Data Lab found the biggest difference between men aged 30–39 and 40–49 was running, not strength: a median run total of about **42 minutes vs 46 minutes**.
- The spread inside every age group is huge. Plenty of 50-year-olds beat most 25-year-olds.

The useful takeaway: as a masters athlete, your fastest gains usually come from running volume and threshold work, not more strength training.

## Where do people lose the most time? Average HYROX station times

Most people lose the most time on three things: **the later runs, the wall balls, and the Roxzone.** Here are HYROX Data Lab's average and median times per station, from 395,452 solo results across Seasons 7 and 8 (all divisions combined, so treat them as rough):

| Station | Average | Median |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SkiErg (1,000 m) | 4:46 | 4:42 |
| 2. Sled push | 3:15 | 3:01 |
| 3. Sled pull | 5:41 | 5:18 |
| 4. Burpee broad jumps | 6:08 | 5:42 |
| 5. Row (1,000 m) | 5:06 | 5:01 |
| 6. Farmers carry | 2:22 | 2:12 |
| 7. Sandbag lunges | 5:34 | 5:11 |
| 8. Wall balls (100 reps in Open) | 7:28 | 6:44 |

Where the minutes go:

- **Running fade.** HYROX Data Lab's split data shows men averaging about 4:40 on run 1 and over 6:00 on run 8. HyCoach's analysis found typical athletes' later laps are 10 to 20% slower than their first few, while top finishers stay within about 5%. Going out too fast on run 1 is the most common and most expensive mistake.
- **Wall balls.** They're the longest station on average and show one of the biggest gaps between fast and slow athletes, mostly because of long breaks between sets.
- **Roxzone.** HYROX Data Lab puts elites at about 4 to 5 minutes total, intermediates at 7 to 8.5, and beginners at 9 to 12 or more. That's up to 7 minutes lost to walking, hesitating and drinking, with no fitness required to fix it.
- **Sled push on a sticky floor.** HyCoach found the sled push has the highest variance of any station, especially in heavier divisions. A bad push can cost minutes, and the carpet makes it far harder than in most gyms.

## Which HYROX station is the hardest?

On the numbers, **wall balls** are the hardest station for most people. They come last, take the longest on average and have the biggest spread between fast and slow athletes. **Burpee broad jumps** are usually second-longest, and **sandbag lunges** also slow down sharply for the bottom fifth of the field.

"Hardest" is personal, though:

- **Strong runners with less strength** tend to struggle most on the **sled push and sled pull**, especially in Pro.
- **Strong lifters who run less** tend to suffer on the **burpee broad jumps, wall balls and the runs between them**, where heart rate and leg fatigue pile up.
- **The SkiErg, row and farmers carry** show the smallest gaps between athletes. Few people lose much time there, but going too hard on the ergs can wreck the run that follows.

To find your own hardest station, compare each of your station splits with the medians above, or with your age group at your race. The station where you're furthest behind is where training time pays back the most.

## How do I find my HYROX results and splits?

Results go up on the official HYROX results page right after each event ends. You can reach it from https://hyrox.com/. Pick the season and your race, filter by division, and search for your surname. The name has to match the one on your ticket.

Your result shows:

- **Total time,** which is your official ranking time
- **Each 1 km run** and **each station** split
- **Roxzone time,** your combined transition time
- **Your rank** overall and in your age group

A few things to know:

- **Penalties can be added for up to 48 hours** after the event, so your time or rank can change after race day.
- **If you race the same division twice at one event, only your faster time counts** for the rankings.
- **Some events take a few hours to finalize.** If your result is missing on the day, check again the next day.

Third-party apps such as ROXFIT can import your official result and compare each split with the race average, your age group or a friend, and they chart your pacing across the eight runs.

## What splits do I need for sub-90, sub-75 and sub-60?

The simplest way to plan a goal time is to split it into three totals: running, stations and Roxzone. HYROX Data Lab publishes target totals for several goal times:

| Goal | Total running (avg pace) | Total stations | Roxzone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sub-90 (1:30) | 45:00 (about 5:38/km) | 36:00 | 9:00 |
| Sub-80 (1:20) | 39:45 (about 4:58/km) | 33:15 | 7:00 |
| Sub-75 (1:15)* | about 37:45 (about 4:43/km) | about 30:45 | about 6:30 |
| Sub-70 (1:10) | 35:50 (about 4:29/km) | 28:10 | 6:00 |
| Sub-60 (1:00) | 31:45 (about 3:58/km) | 23:30 | 4:30 |

*The sub-75 row is our midpoint between HYROX Data Lab's 1:10 and 1:20 targets, not a published figure. The per-km paces are simply the running total divided by 8.

How to turn that into a race plan:

- **Run pace:** expect your HYROX run pace to be well slower than your open 5K pace, because every run starts on tired legs. Plan to run the first kilometer only slightly faster than your average target, not much faster.
- **Stations:** divide your station total by eight for a rough average, then adjust. The farmers carry and sled push are short, and the wall balls, burpee broad jumps, sled pull and lunges are long. For sub-90, that means about 4:30 per station on average. For sub-60, it's under 3 minutes.
- **Roxzone:** it's the cheapest minute you'll ever find. Know the layout, walk in with a plan and keep moving.

As a reality check, sub-90 in Open is above average for men and a strong result for women. Sub-75 is competitive in most age groups. Sub-60 is elite Open territory for men and beyond most of the women's Open field.

## FAQ

### What is a good HYROX time for a beginner?

For a first Open race, about 1:30 to 1:50 for men and 1:40 to 2:00 for women is a solid result, based on ROXFIT's benchmarks. Finishing well and pacing evenly matters more than the number. Most people take a big chunk off in their second race.

### How long does a HYROX race take on average?

Most finishers take 1:15 to 1:45. Published datasets put the typical Open finish at roughly 1:28 for men and 1:36 for women, though some sources quote 1:35 and 1:38. There's no cut-off time.

### What is the average HYROX time by division?

Approximate typical finishes are 1:28 for Men's Open, 1:36 for Women's Open, 1:21 for Men's Pro, 1:27 for Women's Pro, and 1:16 to 1:29 for the Doubles divisions, according to ROXFIT and Pyrox-based analyses. Pro averages are faster because Pro fields are mostly experienced athletes.

### Does age affect what a good HYROX time is?

Yes, but gradually. Results are ranked in five-year age groups, and a rough rule of thumb from ROXFIT is to allow about 5 to 8 minutes per decade. Data from HYROX Data Lab suggests most of the age-related slowdown comes from running, not strength.

### Where do most people lose time in HYROX?

Mostly in the later runs, the wall balls and the Roxzone. Typical athletes run their last laps 10 to 20% slower than their first, and beginners can spend 9 to 12 minutes or more in the Roxzone compared with 4 to 5 for elites.

### What are the average HYROX station times?

HYROX Data Lab's averages across about 395,000 solo results are roughly 4:46 SkiErg, 3:15 sled push, 5:41 sled pull, 6:08 burpee broad jumps, 5:06 row, 2:22 farmers carry, 5:34 sandbag lunges and 7:28 wall balls. These mix divisions, so treat them as rough benchmarks.

### Which HYROX station is the hardest?

Wall balls, for most people. They come last, take the longest on average and show the biggest gap between fast and slow athletes. Burpee broad jumps are usually second. Strong runners often find the sleds hardest.

### How do I find my HYROX results and splits?

Go to the official results page via https://hyrox.com/, choose the season and event, filter by division and search your surname. You'll see your total, every run and station split, your Roxzone time and your overall and age-group rank. Penalties can be added for up to 48 hours after the event.

### What splits do I need for a sub-90 HYROX?

HYROX Data Lab's target is about 45:00 of total running (around 5:38 per km), 36:00 across the eight stations and 9:00 in the Roxzone.

### What splits do I need for sub-75 or sub-60 HYROX?

For sub-75, aim for roughly 37:45 running (about 4:43 per km), 30:45 on stations and 6:30 in the Roxzone. That's a midpoint estimate between published 1:10 and 1:20 targets. For sub-60, HYROX Data Lab's targets are 31:45 running (about 3:58 per km), 23:30 on stations and 4:30 in the Roxzone.
