# RoxSkin

> RoxSkin is an independent platform where HYROX athletes get sponsored. Each athlete turns a short phone scan into a 3D avatar with 15 sponsor spots. Brands bid for spots for a specific race; when a brand is outbid it is refunded in full automatically. Whoever holds a spot at the auction deadline has their logo printed as a skin-safe temporary tattoo that the athlete wears on race day. RoxSkin also publishes a HYROX race calendar, race-weekend city guides and training guides. Not affiliated with HYROX.

Race dates were checked against the official HYROX site on 2026-10-15. Tickets are sold only on https://hyrox.com/. Append ".md" to any race, guide or athlete URL for a clean markdown version.

## HYROX stations (technique, standards, pacing)
- [HYROX SkiErg](https://roxskin.io/stations/skierg.md): station 1, 1,000 m. The SkiErg is the first station: 1,000 m on a Concept2 ski machine straight after your first 1 km run. Good skiers drive each pull with a hip hinge and their body weight, let the arms finish the stroke, and hold an even pace that leaves their legs fresh for the sled push that comes next.
- [HYROX Sled Push](https://roxskin.io/stations/sled-push.md): station 2, 50 m (4 x 12.5 m). The sled push is station 2: four 12.5 m lanes pushing a heavy sled over race carpet, which grips more than most gym turf. Good pushers get low with a flat back, drive with short, quick leg steps, and keep the sled moving, because restarting a stalled sled costs far more than pushing it slowly.
- [HYROX Sled Pull](https://roxskin.io/stations/sled-pull.md): station 3, 50 m (4 × 12.5 m). Station 3 has you standing at one end of a 12.5 m lane and pulling a loaded sled toward you with a rope until it fully crosses the line, then walking to the other end and pulling it back, four lanes in all. Good sled pullers stay low and braced, keep the rope tight with short, continuous hand-over-hand pulls, and use small steps back inside their Racers Box to bring the legs and bodyweight into it.
- [HYROX Burpee Broad Jumps](https://roxskin.io/stations/burpee-broad-jump.md): station 4, 80 m. Station 4 is 80 m of burpees, each followed by a two-footed broad jump forward, with bodyweight only in every division. The fastest racers aren't the ones with the longest jumps; they hold a steady, repeatable rhythm with a clean chest touch and square landings, so they collect no penalties and leave enough in their legs for the run.
- [HYROX Rowing](https://roxskin.io/stations/row.md): station 5, 1,000 m. The fifth station is 1,000 m on a Concept2 rower, straight after the burpee broad jumps. Good rowers drive with the legs, keep a calm stroke rate with real power behind each stroke, and finish with enough left for the farmers carry and the second half of the race.
- [HYROX Farmers Carry](https://roxskin.io/stations/farmers-carry.md): station 6, 200 m. The sixth station is a 200 m kettlebell carry, one bell in each hand, straight after the row. It's the shortest station for most racers, and the fastest ones combine a secure but relaxed grip, a tall braced posture and a quick walk that avoids unplanned drops.
- [HYROX Sandbag Lunges](https://roxskin.io/stations/sandbag-lunges.md): station 7, 100 m. Station 7 is 100 m of alternating walking lunges with a sandbag held on both shoulders, done after the seventh 1 km run. Good lungers keep the bag high and tight, touch the back knee cleanly on every rep and stand fully tall, at a steady rhythm that leaves their legs something for the wall balls that follow.
- [HYROX Wall Balls](https://roxskin.io/stations/wall-balls.md): station 8, 100 reps. The final station is 100 wall balls: a full squat below parallel, then a two-handed throw that hits a target at 2.70 m for women or 3.00 m for men. It comes straight after the lunges and 8 km of running, so the fastest racers plan their sets in advance, break early and briefly, and make every rep count.
