The HYROX Stations Guide

Eight stations, the same order in every city, with 8km of running in between. This guide breaks down the technique, weights, and pacing for every station, then covers the running, the Roxzone, and the fuelling that hold your race together.

Start here

Every HYROX race runs the same eight stations in the same order, with weights set by division. These three give you the full picture before you drill into any single station.

Station by station

One deep dive per station, in race order: the movement standards, division weights, pacing targets, and the mistakes that cost the most time.

Running & the Roxzone

The 8km of running between stations makes up roughly half your race time, and the Roxzone metres quietly add more. Pacing both decides whether the stations feel manageable or brutal.

Fuelling & recovery

Station work only sticks if you fuel it and recover from it: what to eat before and during a race, how race week should look, and how much rest the training actually needs.

All eight, mastered
