HYROX Denver 2026.
Denver's first regional HYROX race lands November 12-15, 2026 at the Colorado Convention Center. Whether you're racing or figuring out what HYROX is, here's everything you need to know — and where to train.
What HYROX Denver 2026 actually is.
HYROX is a hybrid fitness race that's grown from a niche event to over 750,000 racers worldwide in 2025. Every race is identical: 8 stations, 8 one-kilometer runs, one continuous clock. You run a kilometer, do a station, run a kilometer, do a station — eight times.
The stations, in order:
- 1000m SkiErg
- 50m Sled Push
- 50m Sled Pull
- 80m Burpee Broad Jumps
- 1000m Row
- 200m Farmers Carry
- 100m Sandbag Lunges
- 100 Wall Balls
Most first-time racers finish in 1:30 to 2:00. Pro division winners are under an hour. Either way, you're going to be running tired by station three — which is why HYROX-specific training matters.
Which division fits you.
HYROX Open
The standard division. Lower sled weights, smaller sandbag, scaled wall ball target. Most first-timers race Open. Available in Men, Women, and age-group categories from 25-29 through 70+.
HYROX Pro
Same race, heavier loads: 152 lb sled push (Men), 110 lb sled pull (Men), 30 lb sandbag, 20 lb wall ball. For experienced racers and athletes targeting podium finishes.
HYROX Doubles
Two teammates split the work — one runs while the other works the station, or you alternate reps. Same-gender (MM, WW) and Mixed (MX) categories.
HYROX Mixed Relay
4-person teams (2M + 2W) split the eight rounds. The most accessible format if you're new to racing but want the experience.
Denver's first regional HYROX.
HYROX Denver 2026 is the first regional race held in Denver, Colorado. That's significant. HYROX's growth has been explosive — 750,000+ racers in 2025, up from a handful of test events in 2017 — and Denver finally gets its own.
If you've been HYROX-curious, this is the cleanest possible on-ramp: a major race, in your backyard, at a venue that can handle the scale (the Colorado Convention Center hosts 1500+ athletes per HYROX event).
