Race format
HYROX Miami follows the standard global format: 8 × 1km runs interspersed with 8 fixed workout stations. Indoor AC keeps hall temps manageable, but athletes arriving from cooler climates need 10-14 days to adjust to Florida humidity before race week.
The eight stations, in order:
- SkiErg A vertical ergometer simulating cross-country ski double-poling. Station 1: 1,000m for all divisions. : 1,000m
- sled push Athlete pushes a weighted sled across an indoor track. Station 2: 50m total (4 × 12.5m) at division-specific weight. : 50m
- sled pull Hand-over-hand rope pull dragging a weighted sled toward the athlete. Station 3: 50m total (4 × 12.5m) at division-specific weight. : 50m
- burpee broad jump A burpee combined with a forward broad jump, repeated to cover 80m. Station 4. Heart-rate spike point of the race. : 80m
- RowErg A horizontal Concept2 rowing ergometer. Station 5: 1,000m for all divisions. : 1,000m
- farmer's carry A two-handed loaded carry with kettlebells. Station 6: 200m at division weight (32kg/hand for Pro Men). : 200m
- sandbag lunge Walking lunges with a sandbag on the upper back. Station 7: 100m. Quad-burner; rear knee must touch each rep. : 100m
- wall ball Front squat into vertical throw at a target on the wall. Station 8: 75 (women) or 100 (men) reps. The most-feared station. : 75-100 reps
12 weeks.
Engineered for Miami.
Start the race-specific block 12 weeks out. If you live outside the Gulf Coast or Florida, add a 2-week heat-acclimation phase before your taper: shorter sessions, higher humidity exposure, earlier hydration loading.

Station strategy: Miami-specific
Miami Beach Convention Center's hall AC fights outdoor humidity all day; the hall gets warmer as waves stack later. Pacing notes:
- Hydrate before you feel thirsty: humidity spikes sweat rate even indoors. Pre-load electrolytes the morning of, not mid-race.
- Later waves run hotter: if you have wave choice and heat tolerance is a weakness, take an early-morning slot.
- Grip fatigue: humidity affects rope and sandbag grip faster than dry-climate venues. Chalk stations 2 and 6 even if you normally skip it.
