What Is a Good HYROX Time? Finish Time Benchmarks for Every Division

After your first HYROX race, you cross the finish line, catch your breath, and immediately check your time. Then comes the question every HYROX athlete asks: is that good?

The answer depends entirely on your division, your age group, and what standard you're measuring yourself against. A 1:35 in Open Women is a solid mid-pack result. A 1:35 in Men's Pro is a very strong performance. Context matters.

This guide gives you the complete picture — real HYROX finish time benchmarks for every division in 2026, what the numbers actually mean, and how to use them to set realistic goals for your next race.

HYROX Average Finish Times — What the Data Shows

According to official HYROX data, the average finisher time across all divisions in the 2024–2025 season was 1 hour 30 minutes. Elite athletes — those competing in the Pro division at the top of the competitive field — finish in the 55 to 75-minute range.

But averages don't tell the full story. Here's the breakdown by division:

Open Division — Men's Finish Time Benchmarks

The Open Men's division is the largest and most competitive mass-participation category in HYROX.

• Elite (top 1–5%): Under 60 minutes
• Competitive (top 5–15%): 60–70 minutes
• Strong (top 15–30%): 70–80 minutes
• Solid mid-pack: 80–95 minutes
• First-timers and recreational: 95 minutes to 2 hours+

A sub-70-minute Open Men's finish puts you in the top tier of mass-participation racing globally. A sub-60 is rare — only a small percentage of the global Open field achieves this standard. A 65-minute Open Men's finish is genuinely elite in the broader context of who races HYROX.

Open Division — Women's Finish Time Benchmarks

• Elite (top 1–5%): Under 70 minutes
• Competitive (top 5–15%): 70–80 minutes
• Strong (top 15–30%): 80–90 minutes
• Solid mid-pack: 90–105 minutes
• First-timers and recreational: 105 minutes to 2+ hours

A sub-80-minute Open Women's finish is competitive in any field globally. The Women's Open top tier is fiercely competitive — women who finish under 70 minutes are at the elite end of mass-participation racing.

Pro Division — Men's Finish Time Benchmarks

The Pro Men's division uses significantly heavier station weights, which elevates times across the board relative to Open.

• Elite Pro (top of competitive field): Under 58 minutes
• Highly competitive: 58–65 minutes
• Competitive: 65–72 minutes
• Strong Pro finish: 72–80 minutes

For context: the Men's Elite 15 in 2026 have an average personal best of 53:30. These are the world's best 15 men in the sport — the standard that defines what professional-level HYROX racing looks like at its peak.

A 65-minute Men's Pro finish is a strong competitive result. A sub-60 Pro Men's finish is genuinely exceptional.

Pro Division — Women's Finish Time Benchmarks

• Elite Pro (top of competitive field): Under 64 minutes
• Highly competitive: 64–70 minutes
• Competitive: 70–76 minutes
• Strong Pro finish: 76–84 minutes

The 2026 Women's Elite 15 average personal best is 58:01 — the fastest 15 women in the world averaging under an hour in a Pro-weight race. A Women's Pro finish under 70 minutes is an elite-tier performance at any race globally.

Doubles Finish Time Benchmarks

HYROX Doubles times are not directly comparable to individual times because both athletes run all 8km but share station work. The accumulated fatigue profile is different.

Mixed Doubles and Men's Doubles competitive benchmarks:

• Highly competitive: under 60 minutes
• Competitive: 60–70 minutes
• Solid Doubles finish: 70–85 minutes

Women's Doubles competitive benchmarks:

• Highly competitive: under 65 minutes
• Competitive: 65–75 minutes
• Solid Doubles finish: 75–90 minutes

The partnership dynamic means Doubles times reflect team coordination and strategic station splitting as much as raw individual fitness.

Relay Finish Time Benchmarks

HYROX Relay times are fastest relative to the total work done — each athlete completes only 2km of running and 2 workout stations. Strong relay teams with good station specialization can produce very fast overall times.

Men's Relay competitive benchmarks:

• Highly competitive: under 55 minutes
• Competitive: 55–65 minutes
• Solid Relay finish: 65–80 minutes

Women's Relay / Mixed Relay competitive benchmarks:

• Highly competitive: under 60 minutes
• Competitive: 60–70 minutes
• Solid Relay finish: 70–85 minutes

How to Use These Benchmarks

Set goals around percentile, not absolute time. A 90-minute Open Women's finish in a field of 2,000 athletes may put you in the top 30% — a strong result. The same time in a smaller field may rank higher. The global HYROX leaderboard provides direct percentile comparison regardless of where you raced.

Track your splits, not just your total time. Your overall finish time is a summary. Your per-station splits reveal where your time is actually going. Athletes who review their station data consistently identify that one or two stations are responsible for the majority of their time gap relative to target. Fix the outlier stations before generalizing your training.

Don't chase Pro until your Open time stabilizes. If you're still regularly improving your Open time, stay in Open. The improvement curve in Open is steeper and faster than the improvement curve after moving to Pro, where the heavier weights create an immediate step back in performance.

Use the HYROX Dallas benchmark. HYROX Dallas 2025 drew 14,413 athletes — one of the largest race fields in North American history. The results from that race provide extremely reliable percentile benchmarking for DFW athletes because the field size is large enough to eliminate statistical noise.

Race and Benchmark at the North Texas Strength Expo

The North Texas Strength Expo in Mesquite, Texas features HYROX competition with Open, Pro, Doubles, and Relay divisions — all on a global leaderboard. Your finish time at the expo competes against every athlete who has raced HYROX worldwide.

Whether you're chasing a first sub-90-minute Open finish or targeting a competitive Pro time, the expo gives you a national-level race environment to find out exactly where you stand.
