FAQ’s

Can you bring gels on HYROX?

Yes — energy gels are allowed in HYROX as long as they are on your person from the start of the race (in your pocket, belt, shorts, etc.). You can’t accept them from spectators mid‑race, only from the official aid stations.

Is HYROX harder than a marathon?

It’s not a simple direct comparison because the two events stress the body in very different ways.

• A marathon is 42.2 km of continuous running and demands high aerobic endurance over a long time.
• HYROX mixes running and intense functional stations, taxing both muscular endurance and cardiovascular systems in shorter bursts. Many athletes find the mix of strength elements and running more intense in the moment than steady running, but marathons require longer overall endurance training.

Is HYROX good for weight loss?

Yes — HYROX can be an effective workout for weight loss because it combines running and high‑intensity strength work. The format elevates heart rate, burns a significant number of calories, and improves overall fitness. Combined with a sensible diet and consistent training, HYROX can help create a calorie deficit and improve body composition over time.
