HYROX World Championships

Once you have been offered a place to compete at the HYROX World Championships, you have a 72-hour window to claim your ticket (accept the slot invitation and pay for the ticket). There are no exceptions to this deadline. Offers can’t be extended.

Yes, you are eligible to qualify in both singles and doubles divisions. You may participate in both events at the World Championship if you meet the qualification criteria for each.

You can also qualify in different Doubles divisions (e.g. Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles), but not in the same division multiple times, even if in different age groups (e.g. qualifying in Men’s Doubles 30–34 and Men’s Doubles 35–39 is not possible).

You will always compete in the same age group in which you qualified. Even if you become older before the World Championships and would now fall into the older age group, your WC slot will remain in the younger age group.

Once you have accepted a slot, you will be locked in for that division and will not be able to re-qualify for the older division.

Example: If you are 39 during your qualifying race and accept a slot offer in the 35–39 age group, you will compete in the 35–39 age group at the World Championships. You cannot qualify again for the 40–44 category later in the season.
To compete in the 40–44 category at the World Championships, you must decline the first offer (while you are still 39), complete another race as soon as you turn 40, and then accept the slot.

Yes. If you qualify as part of a doubles pair, both athletes will receive individual ticket reservations. Both you and your partner must claim your tickets separately to secure your spots at the World Championship

No, once you have claimed your spot for a specific division, you are not eligible to requalify for the same division, even if your time allows it. Additionally, you cannot switch your qualification from one age group to another after you’ve claimed your spot.

No, if you’ve already qualified and signed up for the World Championship with a doubles partner, you are not eligible to re-qualify with another partner within the same division, even if your time qualifies again. The first original partner is locked in.

You can qualify in both the Solo and Doubles divisions and/or in different Doubles divisions (e.g. Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles), but not in the same division multiple times, even if in different age groups (e.g. qualifying in Men’s Doubles 30–34 and Men’s Doubles 35–39 is not possible).

You may not change the registration neither in respect of your participation, the division you are competing in nor the start time that will be assigned to you. An exception may be granted for participants in the Doubles Divisions, strictly in cases where one athlete is unable to compete due to proven illness or injury. In such cases, the affected athlete may be replaced by another athlete of the same gender and age group, only upon submission of a valid medical certificate and subject to prior written approval by HYROX. Requests for athlete substitution must be sent to our Customer Services at: [email protected], and must be received no later than four (4) weeks before the Event. Please note that this is a courtesy-based exception on a case-by-case basis.

At the HYROX World Championships, all divisions will compete with the PRO weights/ reps with the exception of HYROX Mixed Doubles and athletes aged 60+ who will compete with the OPEN weights/reps.

If you need to withdraw from the event please email [email protected] to inform the team that you will not be attending. Per our terms and conditions, deferrals, transfers or refunds are not permitted.

Start times for the HYROX World Championships are allocated according to division and age group. Please note that they will not be determined by finishers’ times.
You cannot switch your qualification from one age group to another if you are in an older age group at the time of the World Championships event. You must race in the same age group in which you qualified.

It is not possible to request or change your allocated start time to race at the HYROX World Championships since all start waves are allocated by age group and division.

HYROX is moving to an Initial Offers Only policy for World Championship qualification (all races from 20. February 2026 onwards).
Under this policy, only the highest-ranked athlete or doubles team within each age group who is not yet qualified for the HYROX World Championships 2026 will receive an offer for a slot.
If that initial offer is not accepted, the slot will not roll down to the next-ranked athlete or team.

In practice, this means:

• If the first-place athlete (or team) is not yet qualified, they will receive the offer.
• If the first-place athlete (or team) is already qualified, the next eligible ranked athlete (or team) will receive it.
• If that initial offer is declined, the slot will not be reallocated further.

The top 3 athletes in each division, based on the fastest times up until 5th May 2026, will be invited to compete at the HYROX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
You must race in the official Adaptive Division at an event to be eligible.

Yes. The Adaptive Leaderboard is online and can be found here.

No, leaderboard resets for the 25/26 season and only times logged in Adaptive Races from 18. June 2025 to 5. May, 2026 will count toward 2026 Qualification.
