What's a good HYROX time? Here are the numbers.
The global all-finisher average is about 1:30, and most first-timers finish in roughly 1:30–2:00. Below: benchmark tables by division, gender and age, what each milestone really means, and the highest-leverage ways to take minutes off your time.
Quick answer
From your first finish to the elite wave.
Where your time sits on the ladder, Open division, by gender. Every figure is a published range, not a promise: your result depends on your training, the event and the day.
| Milestone | Men (Open) | Women (Open) | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-timer (debut) | 1:30–2:00 | 1:40–2:10 | Finishing your first race is the win. Pacing is unknown. |
| Solid amateur | 1:20–1:30 | 1:30–1:40 | A repeatable, well-paced race with no major blow-up. |
| A "good" time | sub-1:20 | sub-1:30 | Strong, competitive amateur, top of your local field. |
| Competitive / age-group sharp | 1:05–1:15 | 1:15–1:25 | Chasing podiums in your age group; strong on every station. |
| Elite | sub-56 | ≈ sub-1:05 | The sharp end. Pro-division loads, near-perfect transitions. |
The four reference points
The published HYROX time benchmarks every racer should know, framed as ranges across the field.
Times vary widely by division, age and gender. Treat these as published ranges, not guarantees.
How times shift across the ages.
Open individual ranges by age band and gender. The 25–34 bands are usually the deepest and fastest; experience increasingly offsets a small drop in top-end speed after 40.
| Age group | Men (Open) | Women (Open) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16–24 | 1:20–1:40 | 1:35–1:55 | Fast raw engine, but pacing and station skill are often unrefined. |
| 25–29 | 1:15–1:35 | 1:30–1:50 | The deepest, most competitive age bands in most fields. |
| 30–34 | 1:15–1:35 | 1:30–1:50 | Peak combination of strength, endurance and racing experience. |
| 35–39 | 1:18–1:38 | 1:33–1:53 | Experience offsets a small drop in top-end speed. |
| 40–44 | 1:20–1:42 | 1:36–1:56 | Strength holds up well; running economy starts to matter more. |
| 45–49 | 1:25–1:48 | 1:40–2:02 | Recovery and durability become the limiters to manage. |
| 50–59 | 1:30–1:55 | 1:45–2:10 | Smart pacing and station efficiency pay the biggest dividends. |
| 60+ | 1:40–2:15 | 1:55–2:25 | Finishing strong is the goal; consistency beats intensity. |

HYROX times, answered
The questions athletes ask most about HYROX finish times and benchmarks.
What is the average HYROX time?
The global all-finisher average across all divisions, ages and genders is roughly 1 hour 30 minutes. A typical first-timer in the Open division finishes in about 1:30–2:00. Times vary widely by division, age and gender, so treat these as published ranges, not guarantees.
What is a good HYROX time?
A "good" Open time is generally regarded as sub-1:20 for men and sub-1:30 for women, a strong, competitive amateur result. Elite men go sub-56 and elite women sub-1:05. What counts as good depends on your division, age and gender.
How is HYROX timed?
Your finish time is the total elapsed time from the start to the final wall ball, including all eight 1 km runs, all eight stations and every transition. The clock never stops in the RoxZone (the transition area), so smooth transitions are part of your time.
Why do HYROX times vary so much?
Times depend on your division (Open vs the heavier Pro loads, or team formats), your age group, your gender, your running base, your strength on the sleds and carries, and your pacing on the day. That is why benchmarks are best read as ranges.
