What's a Good Hyrox Time for Women? Real Data by Age and Division

By Mathias Berger · Last updated 2026-07-09

What's a good Hyrox time for women? Percentiles by age (16-24 to 65-69) and division, from 224,008 recorded races. Compare Open, Pro, and Doubles.

Overview

A good Hyrox time for a woman isn't one number. It depends which division you race, how old you are, and what you're actually comparing yourself against. Across 224,008 recorded races on roxupdates.com, the useful way to think about 'good' is percentile — where your time lands relative to everyone else who raced your division, not some official target pulled from nowhere. Median (the 50th percentile) means you beat half the field. Top 25% is a solid, competitive result. Top 10% is genuinely fast.

First Timer Benchmarks

If you're racing Open Women — the standard division, no added weight beyond the fixed station loads — for the first time, here's the full spread from 43,392 recorded races:

Top 10% of the field: under 1:15 | Top 25%: under 1:21 | Median (50th percentile): 1:30 | 75th percentile: 1:42 | 90th percentile: 1:56

Finishing anywhere under 1:30 puts you ahead of half of everyone who's raced Open Women. Sub-1:15 shows up near the front of most local heats. And running is the single biggest lever in that clock: the median Open Women finisher spends 44:32 of the roughly 90 minutes just running the eight 1 km legs — more time than any other single part of the race.

Times By Age

Age matters less than most people assume until the mid-40s, then it starts to show. Here's the median and top-quartile Open Women time for every age band with enough race data to report on:

16-24 — median 1:29 | top 25%: 1:20 (5,207 races)
25-29 — median 1:28 | top 25%: 1:20 (8,943 races)
30-34 — median 1:28 | top 25%: 1:20 (9,084 races)
35-39 — median 1:31 | top 25%: 1:22 (7,477 races)
40-44 — median 1:31 | top 25%: 1:22 (5,738 races)
45-49 — median 1:33 | top 25%: 1:23 (3,714 races)
50-54 — median 1:35 | top 25%: 1:26 (1,831 races)
55-59 — median 1:39 | top 25%: 1:29 (907 races)
60-64 — median 1:41 | top 25%: 1:29 (376 races)
65-69 — median 1:49 | top 25%: 1:38 (79 races)

The fastest window for women, on this data, is 25-34 — medians are basically flat across that decade. Times drift up gradually through the 30s and 40s, then rise more noticeably from 50 onward. The 65-69 band is directional rather than definitive — only 79 races in the sample — but the trend holds.

By Division

Division changes the picture more than age does. Same 8 stations, same 8km of running, but the loaded weights and rep counts shift:

Open Women — median 1:30 | top 10%: 1:15 (43,392 races)
Pro Women (heavier sled, farmers carry, and wall ball loads) — median 1:24 | top 10%: 1:10 (12,043 races)
Doubles Women — median 1:23 | top 10%: 1:10 (12,173 races)
Pro Doubles Women — median 1:20 | top 10%: 1:07 (3,913 races)

Pro Women finish faster than Open Women despite carrying more weight, which sounds backwards until you remember who self-selects into Pro — it skews toward more experienced, more aggressively-training athletes. Pro Women's median running time is 39:35, about five minutes quicker than Open Women's 44:32, which tracks with a fitter field more than the extra load driving it. Doubles is faster again than solo Open for a simpler reason: real rest while your partner works a station, which compounds across ten-plus stations.

Elite Womens Times

Everything above is the real distribution — thousands of women, most training around a job and a life. The very top of the sport runs on a different clock entirely.

Megan Jacoby broke the HYROX Women's Pro world record at Hyrox Chicago in November 2022, finishing in 1:01:56 — in just her second-ever Hyrox race. That record didn't last: Jacoby herself became the first woman under 60 minutes at HYROX Anaheim in April 2023 (58:58), Lauren Weeks took it to 58:03 (Vienna, Feb 2024) and then 57:28 (Amsterdam, Oct 2024), and Australia's Joanna Wietrzyk has held it since — 56:03 at Phoenix in January 2025, then a current-standing 54:25 at the HYROX Warsaw Major on April 16, 2026, completing an unprecedented Grand Slam of all four Majors that season. That's the Pro division record chain — a different tier from the HYROX Elite 15, the sport's professional racing series, though today's fastest Pro and Elite 15 women overlap heavily. At the 2026 World Championships in Stockholm, Alyssa McElheny won the Elite 15 women's title in 56:59, upsetting the reigning favorite who had won every other Major that season. The reality check: the fastest woman alive is now under 55 minutes, and everyone racing Open or Pro — the numbers above — is playing an entirely different game.

Find Your Percentile

The numbers above are averages across a division and age band — not you. Run your own goal time, or your last race, through the Hyrox percentile calculator to see exactly where it ranks. Chasing a specific target time instead? The Hyrox pacing tool breaks a goal finish down station-by-station so you know what each split needs to look like.

Faq

What is a good Hyrox time for a woman? For Open Women, median is 1:30 across 43,392 recorded races. Beating that puts you in the top half of the field. Top 25% requires under 1:21; top 10% requires under 1:15.

What is the average Hyrox time for women? It depends on division. Open Women average (median) 1:30. Pro Women average 1:24. Doubles Women average 1:23. Pro Doubles Women average 1:20 — all from the same 224,008-race dataset.

What is a good Hyrox time for women by age? The fastest age bands are 25-29 and 30-34, both with a median around 1:28. Times rise gradually through the late 30s and 40s, and more noticeably after 50 — the 55-59 median is 1:39, roughly 11 minutes slower than the 25-29 median.

Is a sub-1:30 Hyrox time good for a woman in Open? Yes — it's at or above the Open Women median, meaning you'd beat roughly half the field. Sub-1:21 (top 25%) is a strong result; sub-1:15 (top 10%) is genuinely fast.

What's the fastest Hyrox time ever run by a woman? The current women's world record is 54:25, set by Joanna Wietrzyk at the HYROX Warsaw Major in April 2026. At the separate 2026 World Championships in Stockholm, Alyssa McElheny won the Elite 15 title itself in 56:59. Both are a different competitive tier from the Open and Pro division data above.

Is Hyrox doubles faster than solo for women? Yes. Doubles Women's median (1:23) is about 7 minutes faster than Open Women solo (1:30), because each partner gets real recovery time while the other works a station.
