The Elite Series races are the premier events of the HYROX season, featuring the top ranked athletes in the male and female category as well as the doubles.
The currently confirmed Elite Series races for the 26/27 season are:
- HYROX Elite Series Race 1: The Cruise
- HYROX Elite Series Race 2: London
Further Elite Series race locations will be announced at a later stage.
Each Elite Series race plays an important role in the season standings and the road to the HYROX World Championships.
How Do You Qualify for an Elite Series Race?
Qualification for Elite Series races is based on the official points leaderboard.
Ahead of each Elite Series race, a qualification cut-off date will determine the eligible athlete field. Invitations are extended to the top-ranked athletes on the leaderboard at the time of the cut-off.
If an athlete declines their invitation, the place rolls down to the next eligible athlete on the leaderboard.
This qualification system ensures that athlete participation throughout the season directly impacts Elite Series race eligibility, making every race and every point count in the build-up to the HYROX World Championships.
