THE SKYROCKETING POPULARITY of Hyrox means that everyone is looking for a race to enter and a solid time to aim for.
What qualifies as a ‘good time’ will be different for everyone depending on their age, experience and training history. But by looking at official data from Hyrox events (courtesy of the Hyrox Data Lab), we can come up with an an average finish time based on ability level, and a number of time standards for every age group.
Like a marathon, you have to be very fit to do complete a Hyrox event in the first place. So you’re already in good standing if you can simply cross the finish line. But if you want to do more than that, here are some solid targets to aim for.

How can you improve your Hyrox time?
When we spoke with Hyrox Elite 15 competitor Jake Dearden in 2025, his advice on how to improve your time was simple: get fitter. Hyrox is 50% running, so improving your endurance is the surest way to improve your overall time.
Dearden also suggests speeding up your transitions. The Roxzone isn’t a resting space, it’s simply the space between the stations and the running course. And yet, the biggest gap between the pros and the open class is the Roxzone, showing that competitors are spending far too long catching their breath there. Again, Dearden’s advice to get fitter rings true.
When assessing your Hyrox results, you can view what percentile you finish in for all eight stations. This means it’s easy to identify a weakness in your game. If one area stands out, work on bringing it up to par and you’ll shave serious time off your race.
