Prowler Sled
A Prowler is a training sled used for pushes and drags. Check the actual model, runners and attachment options before using its specifications or comparing it with HYROX equipment.
Identify the equipment
EliteFTS sells the Prowler 2 for high- and low-handle pushes and forward or backward drags. Centr separately sells the HYROX® Official Competition Power Sled. A Prowler is therefore not the only commercially available option for race preparation, and a generic label does not identify an official competition model.

Specifications and surfaces
Use the specification sheet for the exact sled. As a dated example, Centr lists its competition model at 50 kg, with dimensions of 102 × 60 × 99.7 cm, checked on 17 September 2026. Those figures are not specifications for every Prowler or speed sled.
Follow the manufacturer’s runner and flooring requirements. EliteFTS currently lists a UHMW runner option specifically for rubber floors. That makes “never use rubber flooring” an unsuitable blanket rule. Do not assume that adding metal runners makes every sled suitable for concrete.

HYROX® station order and loading
In HYROX® Singles 26/27, sled push is station 2 and sled pull is station 3, with a run between them. Both cover 50 m in four lengths of 12.5 m. Total weights include the sled: Women push 102 kg and pull 78 kg; Women Pro and Men push 152 kg and pull 103 kg; Men Pro push 202 kg and pull 153 kg.
For a 50 kg sled, a 152 kg total would require 102 kg of added plates. Use your sled’s actual empty weight and account for its setup; total race weight is not the number of kilograms of plates alone.

Planning practice
Load selection should reflect the equipment, surface, athlete and training task. NSCA’s discussion of resisted sprinting highlights individual strength, training status and friction; it concerns hockey preparation, not a validated HYROX® loading formula. It does not establish a universal extra 10–20% for indoor floors.
As a coaching option, practise controllable short lengths, record the setup and adjust gradually. Choose frequency and volume within your overall plan. No fixed twice-weekly schedule, taper or percentage of race load follows from these sources. Improvised tyres, wheelbarrows and hill sprints should not be presented as proven equivalent replacements.

FAQ
Is a Prowler the official HYROX® sled?
The name alone does not establish that. Centr sells a separately identified HYROX® Official Competition Power Sled; check the model rather than assuming all push sleds have the same specifications.

Which floor should I use?
Use the floor and runners approved for your exact sled. For example, EliteFTS lists a UHMW option for rubber floors. This is a model-specific option, not universal permission for every sled and surface.

Does 152 kg mean 152 kg of plates?
No. In the Singles rulebook, sled weights include the sled itself. With a 50 kg sled, 102 kg of plates gives a 152 kg total.
