Hyrox is one of the world's fastest-growing fitness sports. The format is simple and standardised: 8 × 1 km running alternated with 8 functional workout stations - 8 km total running and 8 stations. Same format, same weights, same rules in every country. Bergen has a growing Hyrox community, with increasing numbers of Bergen athletes competing at national events.
The sport appeals particularly to runners who want a structured strength goal, and to CrossFit athletes who want a more accessible competition format. Hyrox requires no technical Olympic lifting - the stations use rowing machine, ski erg, sled push/pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer's carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls.
