A Brief History of HYROX: The World Series of Fitness Racing
HYROX was founded in 2017 by Christian Toetzke, Moritz Fürste (a two-time Olympic gold medalist), and Michael Trautmann with one clear mission:to create a globally standardized fitness race that everyday athletes could train for and compete in anywhere in the world.
Before HYROX, fitness competitions were often unpredictable or limited to elite athletes. HYROX flipped the script by offering a consistent race format:
8 x 1 km runs
Each run followed by a standardized functional workout
The format stays the same whether you race in Europe, Asia, Australia, or the United States, allowing athletes to benchmark performance, improve year over year, and compete on a truly global stage.
In just a few years, HYROX has grown into one of the fastest-rising competitive fitness brands in the world, regularly filling massive convention centers and drawing athletes from every fitness background imaginable.

Why Houston Is the Perfect Host City for HYROX
Houston isn’t just one of the largest cities in the U.S., it’s a city built on grit, resilience, and hard work, making it a natural fit for HYROX.
Founded in 1836, Houston grew from a small trading post into a global hub for energy, aerospace, medicine, sports, and culture. It’s a city that thrives on big ideas and even bigger execution - and it knows how to show up when the spotlight is on.
From hosting major sporting events to welcoming massive international conventions, Houston has the infrastructure and the energy to support an event of HYROX’s scale. When HYROX comes to Houston, it brings together local Texas athletes and competitors traveling in from across the country.
