What to expect
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.
Race it either way. Singles heats run the first hour (7:00–7:50 AM): the full course, solo, at HYROX Open weights. From 8:10 on it is all Doubles: two athletes, one clock, running every 1km together and splitting the work at each station however you want. Every Doubles team races at the HYROX Mixed Doubles weight standard, so any two athletes can pair up.
Racing Chicago in February?
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.

No. The first hour (7:00–7:50 AM) is Singles heats: you race the full course solo. From 8:10 on it's all Doubles: two athletes run every 1km together and split each station however you like. If you want to race Doubles but don't have a partner, email info@moonshotcrossfit.com and we'll try to match you up.
Doubles teams race 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. Singles athletes race at the HYROX Open weight standard for their division. Coaches can scale a station if needed; scaled results are noted on the board.
