You can watch the race live on the Red Bull TV app or SPONTENT’s Twitch channel. The women’s event begins 2pm EDT / 7pm BST, followed by the men’s at 3.15pm EDT / 8.15pm BST.
Male Athletes to Look Out For
The favorite and reigning world champion is the US’s Hunter McIntyre. He’s also achieved HYROX’s fastest time of 54min 7sec, although he believes a time of 52 minutes is possible. McIntyre will face stiff competition from compatriot and perennial podium contender Ryan Kent, and the UK duo of Michael Sandbach and Graham Halliday.
Female Athletes to Look Out For
The elite female division is shaping up to be a three-horse race between Mikaela Norman, Lauren Weeks, and Megan Jacoby. Former collegiate track athlete Jacoby holds the elite female HYROX world record, with a time of 58min 58sec. Another name that shouldn’t be overlooked is Kris Rugloski. The current World Champion surprised a lot of people in Las Vegas last year by taking the title despite not being one of the top-seeded athletes.
