Hyrox is an indoor 1 kilometer run plus 8 functional fitness stations alternating from start to finish. The race day kit affects performance: too much cotton, you sweat through and slow down. Too loose, you snag a strap on the sled rope or burpee broad jump. Too tight, you blow up your shoulders on wall balls. This guide walks through what Hyrox competitors actually wear, what to avoid, and how a team gets matching shirts with no MOQ.

Hyrox dress rules and what they actually require

Hyrox has its own competitor rules for sponsored athletes and elite divisions, including specific event apparel partners for the pro and elite categories. For age group, doubles, mixed doubles, and team divisions, the rules are much looser: wear what you want, keep shirts on (unless specific waivers apply at a venue), and avoid offensive graphics. For age group competitors, custom team or gym shirts are totally fine. Check the event specific notes from Hyrox before race weekend if you are unsure.

Custom team shirts on race day

Most age group and doubles teams wear custom shirts on race day with their gym logo on the front and athlete name on the back. The Sport-Tek Mens Moisture-Wicking Tee and the Performance Workout Tank are the two most common bases. See the Hyrox team apparel guide for layout patterns and order math.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear a tank top in Hyrox?

Yes for age group, doubles, mixed doubles, and relay teams. Pro and elite divisions may have specific event apparel partner rules. Check before race day.

Do I have to wear official Hyrox merchandise?

No. Age group and team competitors wear what they want, including custom gym or team shirts. Pro and elite athletes may have category specific rules.

What shoes are best for Hyrox?

Cross trainers like the Nike Metcon, Reebok Nano, or Nike Pegasus. Lateral support matters on the sled pushes and pulls.

Is a hat allowed during the run laps?

Yes. A snug snapback or trucker hat is fine on the indoor laps and through every station.
