HYROX Doubles: Rules, Weights and How to Split the Work (2026/27)
HYROX Doubles is the same race as Singles, eight 1 km runs each followed by one station, done by a team of two. You both run every kilometer together, and you split the work at each station however you like. That makes it the friendliest way into HYROX, and a very different race to pace. Here are the 2026/27 rules, the weights for every Doubles division, and how to split the work.
HYROX Doubles divisions and weights
There are five Doubles divisions: Doubles Women, Doubles Women Pro, Doubles Men, Doubles Men Pro and Doubles Mixed (one man and one woman). Under the HYROX Doubles rulebook 26/27 the loads are:
| Station | Doubles Women | Doubles Men / Women Pro / Mixed | Doubles Men Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| SkiErg | 1000 m | 1000 m | 1000 m |
| Sled push (4 x 12.5 m) | 102 kg | 152 kg | 202 kg |
| Sled pull (4 x 12.5 m) | 78 kg | 103 kg | 153 kg |
| Burpee broad jumps | 80 m | 80 m | 80 m |
| Rowing | 1000 m | 1000 m | 1000 m |
| Farmers carry (200 m) | 2 x 16 kg | 2 x 24 kg | 2 x 32 kg |
| Sandbag lunges (100 m) | 10 kg | 20 kg | 30 kg |
| Wall balls (100 reps) | 4 kg | 6 kg | 9 kg |
Sled weights include the sled. The loads match Singles: Doubles Women uses the Women's weights, Mixed and Doubles Men use the Men's weights, and only Doubles Men Pro uses the heaviest column.
The rules that matter in Doubles
- Run together. Both partners run every 1,000 m segment side by side. If one runs ahead, the team takes a 1-minute penalty, and a team with more than three penalties for not staying together is ruled out of competition.
- Enter and leave together. A station cannot start until both partners are there, and you both leave once all the reps or distance are done.
- You Go I Go. One partner works while the other waits. You switch after a distance or rep count you choose, and repeat until the station is complete.
- Resting partner stays on their feet. No kneeling, sitting or lying down while you wait.
- Never pass forward. On the farmers carry and the sandbag lunges, kettlebells and the sandbag go sideways or backwards only, and the resting partner walks behind the working partner.
- Wall balls are one at a time. One partner throwing and the other catching in the squat to keep moving is a no-rep.
- Chalk. Only the chalk HYROX supplies at a station, used at that station.
How to split the work
The rules leave the split up to you, so plan it before race day instead of deciding at the station.
- SkiErg and rowing: short switches keep both of you near full power. The rulebook's own example is a 250 m switch on the rower.
- Sled push and pull: the four 12.5 m lengths split cleanly, two each, or give the stronger partner three.
- Burpee broad jumps: agree a fixed number of jumps per turn so nobody has to count out loud.
- Farmers carry and lunges: plan your swap points, because every handover costs time and has to go sideways or backwards.
- Wall balls: sets of 10 to 20 per turn keep the ball moving.
- Running: the slower runner sets the pace. Train your runs together so that pace is a known number, not a surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do both partners run the full 8 km in HYROX Doubles?
Yes. Both partners run every 1 km segment together, so each of you runs the full 8 km. If one partner runs ahead, the team takes a 1-minute penalty.
How do you split the stations in HYROX Doubles?
However you like. The rulebook uses You Go I Go: one partner works while the other waits, you switch after a distance or number of reps you choose, and you repeat until the station is done.
What weights does HYROX Doubles Mixed use?
Mixed uses the middle column, the same as Doubles Men and Doubles Women Pro: sled push 152 kg and sled pull 103 kg (sled included), farmers carry 2 x 24 kg, sandbag lunges 20 kg and 6 kg wall balls.
Can you pass the kettlebells or sandbag to your partner?
Only sideways or backwards, never forwards. On the farmers carry and the sandbag lunges the resting partner also has to walk behind the working partner.
Can the resting partner sit down during a station?
No. The resting partner has to stay on their feet inside the workout zone. Kneeling, sitting or lying down is not permitted.
