Doubles and Team Relay are HYROX’s team formats, and they require a different skill set than racing solo. Alongside individual capacity, clean transitions and smart task sharing decide the result.
Two formats
Doubles
You run every kilometer together and share the station work. The pace is set by the slower partner, so finding a shared rhythm is the most critical part.
Team Relay
Each athlete takes on two runs and two stations. Order strategy and handoff moments directly affect the total time.
What do we work on in the session?
- Task sharing. Who takes on more reps at which station; matching up strengths and weaknesses.
- Transition practice. Drilling handoff moments again and again. Seconds lost across eight transitions turn into minutes.
- Shared pace. The rhythm of running together in Doubles: reining in the faster partner and pulling the slower one along.
- Communication. Talking short and clear while fatigued; counting reps and switch signals.
Who is it for?
For anyone who wants to experience their first HYROX with a friend, Doubles is the most accessible format. For corporate teams and groups of friends, Relay combines competition and community. We compared the differences between categories in our categories article .
