The 2025 HYROX World Championships will award a total of $302,000 in prize money across three competitive divisions: Elite 15 Individual, Pro Doubles, and Elite Relay.
This marks the largest prize purse in HYROX history and reflects the continued expansion of competitive race formats within the sport.
For comparison, the 2024 World Championship’s top prize was $25,000. This year’s $30,000 payout represents a 20% increase. While HYROX has historically awarded prize money to all 15 Elite athletes, the total per-gender payout has grown from $90,000 in 2024 to $99,500 in 2025—a 10.5% increase.
In addition to the World Championship prize purse, athletes this season have also had the opportunity to earn money at HYROX Majors events. Each Major offered its own prize pool, with $7,500 awarded to the winner and payouts extending to the top 15 finishers per gender. This series provided another layer of financial opportunity for elite competitors throughout the 2024/25 season.
