EVENT FORMAT

The Waypoint Athletics HYROX Simulation is a two-person Doubles event consisting of eight running segments and eight functional workout stations.

Both partners must complete every run together. At the workout stations, partners may divide the work based on their strengths and strategy. Unless otherwise announced during the athlete briefing, only one partner works at a time.

WORKOUT ORDER

1. Run → 1,000-meter SkiErg

2. Run → 50-meter Sled Push

3. Run → 50-meter Sled Pull

4. Run → 80-meter Burpee Broad Jump

5. Run → 1,000-meter Row

6. Run → 200-meter Farmers Carry

7. Run → 100-meter Sandbag Lunges

8. Run → 100 Wall Balls

Pro and Open teams complete a 1,000-meter run before each station for a total of 8 kilometers of running.

Short Course teams complete a 500-meter run before each station for a total of 4 kilometers of running. Workout-station distances and repetitions remain unchanged.

WAYPOINT MIXED CATEGORIES

Mixed Pro uses the Official Mixed Standard listed above.

Mixed Open and Mixed Short Course are modified Waypoint divisions in which both athletes use the Women’s Open Standard.

WALL-BALL TARGET STANDARDS

Waypoint will use a 9-foot target for women and a 10-foot target for men, approximating the official HYROX target heights of 2.70 meters and 3.00 meters.

In all Mixed divisions, women use the 9-foot target and men use the 10-foot target. Mixed Open and Mixed Short Course athletes use the modified wall-ball weight listed above, but retain their corresponding target heights.

IMPORTANT EVENT NOTES

Official sled standards include the weight of the sled. Plate loading may be adjusted based on the empty weight of the equipment used at Waypoint Athletics.

Final movement standards, transition procedures, judging expectations, and heat assignments will be included in the athlete guide and reviewed before the first heat.

This simulation is independently organized by Waypoint Athletics and is not an official HYROX race. Minor equipment or flow adjustments may be made when necessary for athlete safety or event operations. Any material changes will be communicated before race day.
