HYROX is a global fitness race run to the same format at every event worldwide. As a HYROX Training Club, the Adelaide Club gives members a place to train for it in the Financial District, whether you're working toward your first race or already compete.

What HYROX actually is

The format is a one kilometre run followed by one functional workout station, repeated eight times. That comes to eight kilometres of running and eight stations in total. Because the format never changes, a finish time in Toronto compares directly to one in London or anywhere else, which is what lets HYROX run a single global leaderboard. It's built for everyone from first-timers to seasoned athletes, so it doesn't assume a competitive background.

The eight stations

Every race runs the same eight stations in the same order, with a one kilometre run before each one. Weights below are the standard Open division; the Pro division uses heavier loads.

  1. 1,000m SkiErg
  2. 50m sled push
  3. 50m sled pull
  4. 80m burpee broad jumps
  5. 1,000m row
  6. 200m farmers carry
  7. 100m sandbag lunges
  8. 100 wall balls

The order is deliberate: five stations are loaded and three (SkiErg, burpee broad jumps, row) use only your bodyweight or a machine. Fatigue is designed to carry from one station into the next, which is why training the movements in race order matters as much as training them on their own.

Finding your division

There are four ways to take part. Open is the standard challenge. Pro adds heavier weights for experienced racers. Doubles lets two people share the stations while both run the full distance. Relay splits the race four ways. Most people new to it start in Open or Doubles.

A race to train toward

HYROX comes to Toronto from 1 to 4 October 2026, at the Enercare Centre on Princes' Boulevard. The Toronto race is one of the largest on the North American calendar, with just under 7,000 athletes in 2025, so it's a realistic target to build a training block around.

FAQs

HYROX is a global fitness race that pairs eight one-kilometre runs with eight functional workout stations in a fixed order used at every event worldwide. You run one kilometre, complete a station, then run again, repeating the sequence eight times for eight kilometres of running in total. Because the format never changes from city to city, finish times are directly comparable on a single global leaderboard.

The Adelaide Club is a HYROX Training Club in downtown Toronto, so members can train for the race at First Canadian Place in the Financial District. As an affiliated Training Club, the Club offers training built around the eight official HYROX stations, and members can speak to the fitness team to work it into their program.

The main difference is consistency. A HYROX race runs the same eight stations and eight runs at every event worldwide, while CrossFit workouts change daily and vary between competitions. That fixed format lets you train for exactly what race day demands and compare your time directly against athletes anywhere. HYROX also leans more heavily on running and sustained endurance than most CrossFit programming.

No. You can train the HYROX format purely as strength and conditioning, whether or not you ever enter a race. The eight stations are built for every fitness level, from first-timers to experienced athletes, and the Open division uses accessible weights you can scale to suit you. Most members train the movements simply because they carry over well to everyday fitness, and the equipment and support at the Adelaide Club are there for you either way. If you do decide to race, the fitness team can help you prepare for it.

[Members can speak to the fitness team to build HYROX training into their program.] If you're not yet a member, book a club visit to see the space and learn how membership works. The Adelaide Club is at First Canadian Place in downtown Toronto, a short walk from Union Station and connected to the PATH.

Yes. The Doubles format pairs two people who both run the full distance and share the work at each station however they choose. It's one of the most common ways to take on a first HYROX, and members can train for it together at the Adelaide Club.

Yes. The Relay format splits the race across a team of four, with each person taking two runs and two stations. It works well for groups of colleagues and makes a strong team-building option for companies in the Financial District, and members can train for it together ahead of an event.

No. HYROX runs age group divisions and adaptive divisions, and the race is designed for a wide range of fitness levels rather than only competitive athletes. The Open division lets you scale the weights, and the fitness team can help you build up safely if you're newer to this kind of training.
