HYROX Sled Push and Sled Pull are workout stations two and three. In the Singles format, each covers 50 metres in four 12.5 m lengths. The 2026/27 official rules specify total loads including the sled. This guide explains those weights, the essential rules and how to train.
Official HYROX Sled Push and Sled Pull weights for 2026/27
These are Singles loads from the official 2026/27 Singles rulebook. Doubles, relay and adaptive races have their own rulebooks, so check the one for your division.
| Singles division | Sled Push | Sled Pull |
|---|---|---|
| Women Open | 102 kg | 78 kg |
| Men Open | 152 kg | 103 kg |
| Women Pro | 152 kg | 103 kg |
| Men Pro | 202 kg | 153 kg |
Both stations require 50 m (4 × 12.5 m). Loads include the sled. Floor friction can change how heavy a given load feels in practice.
How to approach the Sled Push
Place your hands on the bars, lean forward with a stable trunk and drive through short, steady steps. Find a body position you can sustain rather than sprinting into a stop. In the Singles rulebook, the whole sled must pass the 12.5 m line before you change direction. Stay within your assigned lane and follow the judge’s instructions.
How to approach the Sled Pull
Keep tension on the rope, pull from a stable stance and keep the sled and rope in your lane. Singles racers must remain standing: pulling while seated or kneeling is not allowed. The entire sled must cross the end line before turning. Follow the marked athlete box and assigned lane; the judge can penalise infringements.
Training without a sled
Develop leg, hip, back and grip strength with squats, lunges, deadlifts, rows and loaded carries. Add running after strength work to practise the change of effort. If you can access a sled, build load progressively and rehearse the push and pull with sound technique. Alternatives cannot exactly recreate competition surface friction or movement rules.
