Hyrox times by category and level
These time benchmarks are based on Hyrox competition data from European events. Oslo times are generally comparable to London, Amsterdam, and Stockholm. Use these as reference points, not absolute targets.
| Category | Men | Women | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open — first-timer | 100–130 min | 110–140 min | Finishing is the goal. Time is secondary. |
| Open — experienced | 80–100 min | 90–110 min | Solid for 2nd–5th competition. |
| Open — competitive | 65–80 min | 75–90 min | Consider moving to Pro. |
| Pro | 58–70 min | 68–82 min | Heavier weights, same format. |
| Elite | 52–60 min | 60–70 min | Top 5% globally. |

Station splits: what to aim for
The time ranges below are for completing each station in isolation, without running fatigue. In competition, add 15–30% to later stations due to accumulated fatigue.
Station 1: SkiErg (1,000 m)
Steady rhythm — not a sprint. Arms pull, core stabilises.
Station 2: Sled Push (50 m × 8)
Low position, short steps. Do not look up — look down in front of you.
Station 3: Sled Pull (50 m × 8)
Back straight. Drive from the hips, not just the arms.
Station 4: Burpee Broad Jump (80 m)
Explosive forward. Each jump counts — minimise rest at the bottom.
Station 5: Rowing (1,000 m)
Drive with legs, finish with arms. Do not take too high a stroke rate.
Station 6: Farmer's Carry (200 m)
Shoulders back, core braced. Put down only once if you must.
Station 7: Sandbag Lunges (100 m)
Split into two halves. Lower controlled — do not collapse.
Station 8: Wall Balls (75–100 reps)
Set yourself a rep target per set (e.g. 20-20-15-15-15). Do not drop the ball.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good Hyrox time for beginners?
For your first time: finishing is a good time. Most first-time Open category athletes finish in 100–130 min (men) and 110–140 min (women). Under 120 min is a solid target for fit first-timers. Do not compare yourself to experienced athletes — they often have 5–10+ competitions and know the station rhythms well.
When should I move from Open to Pro category?
Rule of thumb: if you consistently finish Open under 70 min (men) or 80 min (women), you are ready for Pro. Pro has heavier weights (e.g. sandbag 25 kg vs 20 kg for men) but the same format. Most athletes do 3–5 Open races before trying Pro. Relay is an alternative to jumping straight to Pro — you can test the resistance without the solo burden.
What is the hardest station in Hyrox?
Wall Balls (station 8) is consistently rated the hardest by most athletes — it comes after 7 km of running and 7 stations, when you are most exhausted. Sandbag Lunges (station 7) is also notoriously tough. Sled Pull/Push is often harder than expected for those without functional training experience. Tip: practise stations 7 and 8 specifically in training.
Is Hyrox Oslo different from other Hyrox events?
The format is identical worldwide — 8 × 1 km running + 8 stations, same weights, same distances. What varies: size (Oslo is one of the larger European events at ~8,000 athletes), atmosphere (Nova Spektrum is a large indoor arena with a strong atmosphere), and athlete level (Norwegian athletes have a generally high average fitness level). Times are comparable to other major European cities.
Where can I find Hyrox Oslo results from previous years?
Official results from all Hyrox events are available at hyrox.com/results. You can filter by event, category, gender, and age group. Roxradar.com offers more advanced Hyrox results analysis, including station breakdowns. To compare yourself with other Norwegian athletes: search for Hyrox Oslo 2025 under "Events" at hyrox.com.
What training improves Hyrox times the most?
The three biggest time improvements come from: 1) Specific station practice — train the actual stations, not just general fitness. 2) Running quality — pace between stations is determined by aerobic capacity. 3) Stations 7 and 8 endurance — sandbag lunges and wall balls in a fatigued state. See our training plan for the 12-week programme.
