How does HYROX Chicago work?
Every adult HYROX race follows the same format: a 1 km run, then one workout station, repeated eight times. The stations and distances are the same in every city, and each division lifts the same weights everywhere. The hall layout changes the number of laps per 1 km run, which HYROX lists on the event page under Laps to run.

- SkiErg A vertical ergometer simulating cross-country ski double-poling. Station 1: 1,000m for all divisions. : 1,000m

How should you pace HYROX Chicago?
Chicago in February means cold travel to a heated hall at Navy Pier. Pacing notes:
- Even run splits: don't blow up stations 1-3 trying to make up time. Steady runs give it back.
- Wall ball cadence: take 1-2 reps to settle on the target, then hold a steady rhythm.
- Cold arrival: you walk in from a Chicago winter. Warm up longer than you would at a Florida or Texas event.
