Our partnership with World Triathlon (TRI), the international federation for triathlon and multisport, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of HYROX and Hybrid Racing.
Through this partnership, Hybrid Racing is officially recognised as a discipline within the World Triathlon family. HYROX will serve as the exclusive operator of the official World, Continental and National Championships for elite Hybrid Racing athletes.
The existing HYROX race format remains unchanged, with age group and community racing continuing to be central to the experience. Alongside this, HYROX and World Triathlon are developing three new formats for elite competition:
- Ultimate: Mirrors the existing HYROX race format
- Fast: A shorter, higher-intensity format
- Ultra: An extended, endurance-based format
All three formats will be sanctioned and governed by World Triathlon.
World Triathlon’s National Federations will play a central role in the new ecosystem, having the opportunity to organise Hybrid Racing events across all three formats, including National Championships for Age Group athletes.
Building on a year of collaboration, we’re working towards the inclusion of Hybrid Racing in Multi-Sport Games, bringing us closer to our long-term ambition of Olympic and Paralympic recognition.
