HYROX sled push: weights, distance and lane rules

Total weights by division

• Women Open: 102 kg.
• Women Pro: 152 kg.
• Men Open: 152 kg.
• Men Pro: 202 kg.

These totals include the sled. They are not the amount of plates to add to an unloaded gym sled. Check your equipment's own mass when setting up training, and do not assume every sled has the same starting weight.

Lane and finish requirements

Use the lane assigned by the judging team. Both you and the sled must start completely behind the white line and remain within your assigned lane without interfering with neighbouring lanes.

The whole sled must cross the 12.5 m end line before you change direction. After the fourth length, the station is complete when the entire sled passes the line. Reaching it with only the front of the sled is insufficient. Four lengths of 25 m would be 100 m, not the race's 50 m requirement.

Practise control before chasing a time

Start with a load you can move under control. Try a stable hand position and manageable steps while keeping the sled in its lane. Adjust your setup to your body and equipment; a universal 45-degree torso angle or one mandatory elbow position is not part of the cited race standard.

As an optional practice task, mark a short lane and rehearse starting, crossing the full end line and changing direction. Add distance or load only as appropriate for your existing training. Record the equipment, surface and load so you know what your session time actually describes.

A squat or lunge session is not an exact replacement for moving a sled. If a sled is unavailable, choose familiar strength exercises for general preparation and arrange equipment practice when possible. This does not establish an equivalent race load or guarantee a particular station time.
