You want the numbers, so here they are first. Every weight below is taken from the official HYROX rulebooks for the 2026/27 season — sleds, kettlebells, sandbags, and wall balls for every division, in kilograms and pounds. After the tables, we’ll cover what these weights actually feel like on race day and how to train for them, because knowing the number and being ready for it are two different things.
HYROX uses three weight tiers, color-coded on the equipment: White, Grey, and Black. Every division maps to one of these tiers.
| Station | White tier | Grey tier | Black tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sled Push (50m, incl. sled) | 102 kg / ~225 lb | 152 kg / ~335 lb | 202 kg / ~445 lb |
| Sled Pull (50m, incl. sled) | 78 kg / ~172 lb | 103 kg / ~227 lb | 153 kg / ~337 lb |
| Farmers Carry (200m) | 2 × 16 kg / 2 × 35 lb | 2 × 24 kg / 2 × 53 lb | 2 × 32 kg / 2 × 70 lb |
| Sandbag Lunges (100m) | 10 kg / 22 lb | 20 kg / 45 lb | 30 kg / 66 lb |
| Wall Balls (100 reps) | 4 kg / 9 lb | 6 kg / 14 lb | 9 kg / 20 lb |
| Division | Weight tier |
|---|---|
| Open Women · Women’s Doubles · Women’s Relay | White |
| Open Men · Pro Women · Men’s Doubles · Mixed Doubles · Men’s Relay | Grey |
| Pro Men · Pro Doubles | Black |
Two details worth knowing. First, wall ball target heights follow gender, not tier: women throw to 2.70m and men to 3.00m in every division — so a Pro woman throws a 6kg ball to the 2.70m target, while an Open man throws the same 6kg ball to 3.00m. Second, in the Mixed Relay, each athlete works at their own gender’s Open weights — the sleds are adjusted between exchanges.
The SkiErg, Rowing, and Burpee Broad Jumps have no loading — they’re identical in every division. For distances, standards, and the full race flow, see our complete guide to all 8 HYROX stations.
The sled numbers include the sled itself, but the number tells you less than the floor does. Carpet friction varies from venue to venue, and a 152kg sled on slow carpet can feel like half again what it does on your gym’s turf. This is the station where athletes get the biggest race-day shock. Train above race weight: if Open men push 152kg in competition, training pushes at 170–180kg on a slower surface builds the margin that keeps you moving in length four.
Two 24kg kettlebells don’t sound intimidating until you’re 120 meters in with forearms that stopped cooperating. The load arrives late in the race, after the sled pull has already taxed your grip. Carries at or above race weight, done weekly, make this a non-event; showing up untrained makes it two or three costly drops.
A 20kg sandbag is light in your hands and brutal on your shoulders after 6km of running. The load sits high on your back for 100 meters of full-depth lunges — what fails isn’t strength, it’s position and legs. Weighted walking lunges are the single most race-specific thing you can add to a training week.
Six kilograms is nothing for one rep and enormous for a hundred. The weight only matters in multiplication: 100 reps × 6kg thrown to 3 meters on exhausted legs. Volume at race weight — not heavier balls — is what prepares you.
A useful rule of thumb from our coaching floor: if you can’t complete 25m of sled push at race weight fresh, or 100m of farmers carry unbroken, the Open weights will own your race — build strength first. If Open weights feel manageable under fatigue and you’re chasing a competitive field, Pro is the honest test: the jump from Grey to Black tier is 33% more sled and 50% more sandbag, and it changes the entire character of the race. Doubles is the friendliest entry point — same weights, half the station volume, since you split the work with a partner. Deciding between them? Our HYROX doubles vs singles guide covers how they differ and which to race first.
Getting stronger relative to these loads is the highest-leverage thing most HYROX athletes can do — every station gets easier when race weight is a smaller fraction of your max. That’s the whole premise of our strength training for HYROX guide. And if you want to feel the actual race loads before race day, our HYROX classes in Dallas run every station at official weights on competition equipment — sleds, bags, and balls at exactly the numbers in these tables.
Weights are set per season by HYROX and occasionally change — these tables reflect the official 2026/27 rulebooks. Racing HYROX Dallas 2026 or another event soon? Double-check the current rulebook for your event.
102 kg (~225 lb) for Open women, 152 kg (~335 lb) for Open men and Pro women, and 202 kg (~445 lb) for Pro men — all including the sled itself, pushed 50 meters in four 12.5m lengths.
4 kg (9 lb) for Open women, 6 kg (14 lb) for Open men and Pro women, and 9 kg (20 lb) for Pro men — 100 reps. Women throw to a 2.70m target, men to 3.00m.
Mixed Doubles runs at the Grey tier — the same weights as Men’s Open (152kg sled push, 103kg sled pull, 2×24kg farmers carry, 20kg sandbag, 6kg wall ball) — regardless of which partner is working.
Yes — within a season, every event worldwide uses identical weights, which is what makes times comparable across races. HYROX occasionally adjusts weights between seasons, so check the current rulebook if you’re planning ahead.
For the sleds and carries, yes — training 10–20% above race load builds the buffer that keeps you moving under fatigue. For wall balls and lunges, stay at race weight and build volume instead; the race tests repetition, not maximums.
