What to expect

A real race. Without the travel.

This is a full HYROX-style race simulation built to replicate race-day conditions: timed heats, a running course, all eight stations at division weight, and an athlete briefing before you go. Whether you are training for Chicago (February 11, 2027), benchmarking your fitness, or lining up for your first HYROX ever, this is the closest you can get without a wristband.

You race as a Doubles team: two athletes, one clock. You run every 1km together and split the work at each station however you want. Every team races at the HYROX Mixed Doubles weight standard, so any two athletes can pair up.

✓ Coaches running lanes, counting reps, and keeping the clock
✓ Official times posted after the event
✓ All equipment on-site: SkiErgs, rowers, sleds, sandbags, wall balls, carry handles
✓ Open to members and non-members. All fitness levels; every station is scalable

Racing Chicago in February?

This is your dress rehearsal.

HYROX Chicago is February 11, 2027, about 18 weeks after this event. October 3 is the right time to find out where you actually are: how you pace the runs, how the sled feels at division weight, where your transitions leak time, and what the wall balls look like when your legs are gone. Race it, get a time, then train the gaps.

Moonshot is an official HYROX affiliate. HYROX classes run three times a week and are included in every membership, so you can build straight from your simulation result into race day.

Race Simulation FAQ

Do I need a partner?

+

Yes. This event is Doubles only: two athletes run every 1km together and split each station however you like. If you want to race but don't have a partner, email info@moonshotcrossfit.com and we'll try to match you up.

What weights are used?

+

Every team races at the official HYROX Mixed Doubles weight standard for sleds, carries, lunges, and wall balls. One standard keeps the floor consistent across every heat and means any two athletes can pair up: men, women, or mixed. Coaches can scale a station if needed; scaled results are noted on the board.

How does the member discount work?

+

Moonshot CrossFit members get 60% off race entry ($10 instead of $25). Check the member box for each athlete who is a member and enter the member code from the gym. The discount applies to race entry only; add-ons are already at event pricing.

How do the DEXA and blood panel add-ons work?

+

They're certificates for Moonshot Medical + Performance, the clinic that shares our building. After checkout you get a certificate code and a direct booking link for each one. Pick any appointment date through December 31, 2026. Your code is attached to the booking automatically, so there's nothing to pay at the clinic. A blood draw is best done fasted in the morning; the clinic will send prep instructions when you book.

Can my partner buy their own add-ons?

+

Yes. Your partner's confirmation email includes a personal link where they confirm their info, sign the waiver, and can add a T-shirt, DEXA scan, or blood panel for themselves at the same event rate, right up until registration closes.

Is this good prep for HYROX Chicago?

+

That's the point. HYROX Chicago is February 11, 2027, roughly 18 weeks out. Racing the full format now gives you a real time, a pacing plan, and a clear list of what to train. Pair it with our HYROX classes and you go into Chicago having already done the whole thing once.

What should I bring?

+

Running shoes you can push a sled in, water, and something to eat after. Chalk, timing, and all equipment are provided. Arrive by 7:30 AM for check-in and the briefing regardless of your heat time.

What's the refund policy?

+

Entries and add-ons are non-refundable but fully transferable to another athlete through registration close (October 2). Email us with the new athlete's name and we'll swap them in.

I'm not a member. Can I still race?

+

Absolutely. The event is open to everyone. If you like the way we run things, our HYROX classes run three times a week and are included in every membership.
