The planned fueling strategy before and during a HYROX race, including pre-race carb loading, hydration, and intra-race energy gels or drinks.

Race day nutrition is the planned fueling strategy before and during a HYROX race. It covers pre-race carbohydrate meals, hydration, and intra-race energy gels timed around station transitions to sustain performance across all 16 segments.

Definition and limits

Race-day nutrition should be planned around event duration and intensity, individual tolerance, prior diet, conditions and access to fluids or food. Carbohydrate and fluid can support longer exercise, but needs differ. Practise the plan in training; avoid treating one meal, dose or timing schedule as universal.
