Benchmarks you need in training
These are what typical sub 120 Open Men finishers did on race day, so a fresh single effort should be quicker. The 5K is an estimate, not a measured result: it assumes HYROX run pace is 8% to 25% slower than your fresh 5K pace, and 29:15 uses the 15% midpoint.
| Benchmark | Race-day median |
|---|---|
| Fresh 5K (estimate) | 26:55 to 31:09 |
| HYROX run pace | 6:44 per km |
| 1,000 m SkiErg | 4:55 |
| 1,000 m row | 5:27 |
| Sled push | 3:47 |
| Burpee broad jumps | 8:18 |
| Wall balls (100 reps) | 10:21 |

Methodology and sources
Splits come from 201,757 HYROX results (2024 to 2026, 307 events) with all eight runs, all eight stations and a roxzone time that add up to the finish time within 30 seconds. This page uses the 1,863 Open Men results finishing between 1:54:00 and 2:00:00 (sub 120) and 2,069 between 2:00:00 and 2:12:00 (comparison). Each split is the median of that group.
The "percentage under 120" uses all 188,637 cleaned Open Men finish times, not only those with splits. The 5K figures are modelled, not measured: they divide the median run pace by a fatigue factor of 1.08 to 1.25. RoxUpdates is independent and is not affiliated with HYROX.
