Join the Race for Impact! Choose your cause, set a goal beyond €500—if you fall short, you’ll need to cover the difference to compete, and turn your race into global change by fundraising for the world’s top-performing charities. Pick from four impact areas: Global Health, Climate Solutions, Mental Health, or Women’s Empowerment. After purchasing your ticket, you’ll hear from our partner.
You must reach your minimum fundraising goal, and we ask you to genuinely give it your best effort to achieve it. The minimum amount varies by division: 300 Euro for Singles, 500 Euros as a doubles Team and 800 Euros for the Relay Team. So please carefully review the ticket description at the time of purchase. To prevent misuse, anyone who fails to reach this minimum target will be placed on a blacklist and will no longer be able to purchase charity tickets in the future.
Stay flexible with our Flex Add-Ons. Life happens, plans can change. HYROX Flex options give you extra peace of mind when registering.
