What's a Good HYROX Time
“What’s a good HYROX time?” is the question every athlete asks after their first race. The honest answer: it depends on your division, your age group, and what you’re comparing against.
What a “good” time actually means
A finish time only means something in context. A 1:20 might be mid-pack in HYROX Open and elite in your age group. The number that matters is how you rank in your division and age group, not what someone else ran.
That said, benchmarks are useful. They give you a target, a sense of what’s possible, and context for where you are in the field.
HYROX Open: time benchmarks
These are broad guides based on general race data. Course layout, venue conditions and altitude all affect times.
| Level | Men (Open) | Women (Open) |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Sub 1:00 | Sub 1:10 |
Breaking 60 minutes as a man in Open is a strong benchmark. Most athletes who cross that threshold have built a serious running base and understand how to pace HYROX. Sub-70 for women in Open is equivalent.
HYROX Pro: time benchmarks
Pro uses heavier weights across the stations. The same athlete will typically run 3-7 minutes slower in Pro than Open, depending on their strength-to-endurance profile.
| Level | Men (Pro) | Women (Pro) |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive | 58–65 min | 62–70 min |
| World-level | 54–58 min | 57–62 min |
| Elite 15 | Sub 54 min | Sub 57 min |
The current Women’s Solo Pro world record sits at 54:25 (Joanna Wietrzyk, Warsaw 2026). The fastest men have gone under 53 minutes. Those are outliers built on years of structured training at high volume.
HYROX Doubles: time benchmarks
Doubles finish faster overall because station reps are split between two athletes, though both complete every run together.
| Level | Men’s Doubles | Women’s Doubles | Mixed Doubles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Competitive | 55–65 min | 60–70 min | 57–68 min |
| Top end | Sub 52 min | Sub 58 min | Sub 55 min |
The Men’s Pro Doubles world record is 47:41 (Alexander Rončević and Tim Wenisch, London 2026). The second-fastest time ever is 48:05 (Charlie Botterill and Jake Dearden, Barcelona 2026).
Age group context
HYROX uses 10-year age bands (16–24, 25–29, 30–34 and so on). Each age group has its own ranking within the division. A 58-minute Open time in the 40–49 age group is a very different story to the same time in the 25–29 group.
The competitive threshold shifts with age. In general, adding 5–8 minutes per decade is a rough guide to age-adjusted performance, though the fastest masters athletes frequently outrun athletes half their age.
Where time is actually lost
Most athletes don’t lose time because they’re unfit. They lose it in two places.
The runs. Eight kilometres of running makes up roughly half the race. Going out too hard on Run 1 is the most common mistake. Athletes who pace the first three runs conservatively and run the last three strong almost always finish faster than those who blow up early.
The ROXZONE. The transitions between stations and runs add up. Unplanned rests, slow changeovers and poor station positioning can cost 3–5 minutes across the whole race without feeling dramatic at any single point.
How to find your actual ranking
Averages only go so far. ROXFIT lets you link your race result and see your station-by-station splits compared to your division average, your age group, and your wave. That tells you exactly which station or run is costing you the most time, which is a more useful starting point than a general benchmark.
