How the Elite 15 Qualification System Works For Regionals
Unlike the HYROX Majors, there are no automatic qualifiers for Regional Championships. In Elite Doubles, teams only need a single result from the previous 365 days to be eligible, with a cutoff date of February 27, 2026 for the EMEA Championships.
There are also no automatic qualification spots carried over from Majors or World Championships.
Additional Regionals Distinction
To be considered for a Regional Championship, both athletes must hold a passport from that region. Qualification times may be earned at any HYROX race worldwide prior to the official cut-off date.
Athletes may only compete in the Regional Championship associated with their passport. Athletes holding dual passports must select one region and may only compete in that single Regional Championship.
