HYROX Mexico City 2026: Results, Data and What It Means

Pro Men: McIntyre the only man under the hour
Hunter McIntyre won HYROX Mexico City Pro Men in 59:04, 2:15 clear of Aldo Lozano Marquez (1:01:19). Gabe Piepergerdes was third in 1:01:35, with Alan Carrillo (1:03:06) and Axel López (1:03:37) next. McIntyre was the only man in the field to go under an hour.
Lozano didn't win, but he owned the sleds. He had the fastest Sled Push (2:46) and Sled Pull (3:29) in the field.
Then McIntyre came back on Saturday and won the Pro Doubles with Piepergerdes in 52:16, 2:23 ahead of Lozano Marquez and Mario Habib Fierro Elias (54:39). That's two wins in two days.
The returners ran well too. Mexico City's Pro men were typically 4% quicker on the run than in their previous comparable Pro race, and Hugo Dilan Hernández Figueroa took 27:06 off his last comparable race (based on public results).
Pro Women: decided by one second
This was the finish of the weekend. Bianca Sierra won HYROX PRO Women in 1:12:20, one second ahead of Nayelli Garcia Vazquez (1:12:21). Angelly Hernandez was third in 1:12:36, so 16 seconds covered an all-Mexican podium. Nadine Fadelle (1:13:26) and Erika Odlaug (1:14:11) completed the top five.
No Pro woman went under 70 minutes, even though the start list carried at least 23 women with World Championships experience.
In the Pro Doubles, Lianne Girard and Maria Fecik won the women's race in 1:03:44.
The big story: altitude plus 1,357 m of ROXZONE
Two things make Mexico City different. The city sits at about 2,240 m above sea level, and the course gives about 1,357 m to ROXZONE, 15.6% of the course. On the same weekend that was 10.5% in Birmingham and 11.3% in Nice. That's a lot of metres spent in transition rather than on the run.
Open racing: where sub-hour went to hide
(All based on public results.)
- Open men: the median sat at 1:38:24 through the first 853 finishes. After the last Open men's wave, nobody had broken the hour, and the fastest time was 1:02:15.

- Age groups: the women's 16 to 24 and 40 to 44 groups finished slower than their usual historical medians.
Doubles and relay
- Mixed Doubles: the median sat at 1:30:39 early on. No pair had broken the hour by Saturday morning, and in the end only 3 of 2,382 pairs went under 60 minutes, the fastest in 0:59:32.
- Mixed Team Relay: the winning team went 0:58:52.

What Mexico City means for your next race
- Don't compare your time with a different course. A Mexico City time with about 1,357 m of ROXZONE, at altitude, isn't like for like with a flatter, shorter-transition course. Compare your splits instead. See what's a good HYROX time.
- Transitions are training. With a ROXZONE of about 1,357 m, moving with purpose between stations is real time.
- Look at the runs, not just the finish. Pro returners were 4% quicker on the run even when finish times looked slow.
