HYROX for Women: 70,000+ Finishers, in Data

Every number below comes from the same place: our results data, 59 full-field HYROX races from April to October 2026. All division finisher lists are complete for these races. "Solo" means individual entries, not doubles.

In that data, 70,850 women finished a solo race with a valid time. That is 36.8% of the 192,681 solo finishers. More than one in three people crossing the line in a singles race were women.

The split changes a little by division:

• Open: 61,837 women, which is 38.0% of Open finishers.
• Pro: 9,013 women, which is 30.0% of Pro finishers.

So the Open division, where most people race, is close to four in ten women. You will not be the only woman in your start wave. You will not be close to it. You can browse the full Open lists on our Open division athlete page and see for yourself.

The median Open Women finish time in our data is 1:38:23. Half of the Open Women finish faster than that, and half finish slower.

The spread around that median matters just as much. The fastest 10% of Open Women finish under 1:19:47. The slowest 10% finish over 2:12:06. Between those two numbers sits a huge range of people: first-timers who walk the lunges, runners who fly through the 1 km legs and slow down on the sled, strength athletes who need the runs to be over. All of them finish.

That is the thing we like most about this race. The format is the same everywhere: 8 × 1 km runs, each followed by a station, from the SkiErg to 100 wall balls. Because it is one fixed format, a time in one city compares directly to a time in another. You can check any result against the field with our percentile tool, and see how you might rank before you ever race.

If you want to know what counts as a good time for you specifically, read our good HYROX time for women guide. It puts these medians in plain terms.

Two thresholds matter to most athletes. One is 90 minutes. The other is two hours.

• Under 90 minutes: 30.9% of Open Women, in our data. For comparison, 50.9% of Open Men finish under 90.
• Under two hours: 82.1% of Open Women. For Open Men it is 88.8%.

Read that second line again. More than eight in ten Open Women finish in under two hours. Two hours is a goal many first-timers set, and most of the field beats it.

The first line is worth noticing too. Roughly three in ten Open Women go under 90 minutes. That is a serious time, and a large number of women hit it. If you think of sub-90 as something only elite athletes do, the data says otherwise. When you are ready to chase it, our sub-90 training plan lays out how.

Finishing in the slower part of the field is also completely normal here. The Open Women who take two hours or more cross the same line, after the same eight stations, and they finish too.

Pro is the heavier-weight division, with a different set of station weights. Women made up 30.0% of Pro finishers in our data, which is 9,013 athletes.

The Pro Women median finish time is 1:26:35. And 58.2% of Pro Women finish under 90 minutes. That is the gap between Pro and Open: the Pro field is self-selected and fast. It is also a reminder of how the sport works. Most athletes start in Open, learn the race, and only some move up.

If you are curious about the top end, our Pro division athlete page lists the full field. You do not need to race Pro to love this sport. Plenty of strong athletes stay in Open for years. Our divisions explained guide covers the differences.

Here is one of the most encouraging numbers in our data. 18,221 women aged 40 and over finished solo races. That is 25.7% of all women solo finishers. One in four women on the finisher lists is 40 or older.

Go further up. 4,550 women aged 50 and over finished too. These are not a few brave outliers. They are thousands of people, in the same races, on the same course, doing the same eight stations.

The Open Women age-group sizes make the same point. In the 40–44 group, 7,472 women have an Open result. In 45–49 there are 4,255. In 50–54, 2,266. In 55–59, 980. In 60 and over, 709. Each of those is a real field, with real depth.

If you are over 40 and wondering whether it is too late, it is not. Our Open Women 40–44 times and Open Women 50–54 times pages show the full distribution, and our over-40 guide covers training.

Here are the Open Women median finish times by age group, in our data:

• 16–24: 1:38:25
• 25–29: 1:36:38
• 30–34: 1:37:18
• 35–39: 1:37:52
• 40–44: 1:39:07
• 45–49: 1:41:17
• 50–54: 1:42:42
• 55–59: 1:47:34
• 60 and over: 1:50:03

Look at the shape. The fastest median belongs to women aged 25–29. From there the medians climb slowly. The 40–44 median is barely off the overall Open Women median of 1:38:23. Even the 60 and over median is under two hours.

That is a gentle slope, not a cliff. It also means your age group is a better yardstick than the whole field. If you are 50–54, a time near 1:42:42 puts you in the middle of your peers. And 77.8% of women in that group finish under two hours. For women 40–44, it is 81.5%. For 45–49, it is 79.1%. For 55–59, it is 68.4%. For 60 and over, it is 65.0%.

Age groups run in 5-year bands, so you are always racing people close to you. Our age groups guide explains how they work.

Strip out the tables and a few things stand out.

1. You will have company. Women are 38.0% of Open finishers, in our data.
2. A typical finish is inside two hours. The median is 1:38:23 and 82.1% of Open Women finish under two hours.
3. Sub-90 is a real target, not a fantasy. 30.9% of Open Women get there.
4. Age is not a barrier. 18,221 women aged 40 and over finished, and 4,550 aged 50 and over.

We think HYROX is the best goal you can set, and these numbers are part of why. A goal works when you can see people like you reaching it. The finisher lists show that, race after race.

One honest note. These are results, so they only describe people who finished. They don't tell you about anyone who trained and decided not to enter, and they say nothing about how any single athlete felt on the day. Use them as a map, not a prediction. And if you are new to hard exercise or have a health condition, check in with your doctor before you start training.

Pick a race, pick a goal, and start. If you want a first target, aim to finish. If you want a second, look at the numbers above: under two hours is a goal that most Open Women reach, and under 90 minutes is where roughly three in ten end up.
