HYROX Warsaw marks the final Major of the 2025–2026 season, following Hamburg, Melbourne, and Phoenix. As with the earlier Majors, the Elite 15 Men’s field was shaped by automatic qualifiers, time-based qualification, and a roll-down process that extended beyond the initial cut.

This guide breaks down how the field was formed, which athletes are actually racing in Warsaw, and how far the roll-down went to complete the lineup.

How the Elite 15 Qualification System Works

The Elite 15 is built from two pathways. These rules apply to both the men and women.

Category One: Automatic Qualifiers

This includes
• Major winners from the previous season
• World Championship podium athletes, with roll-downs applied as needed

For this season, six men earned automatic qualification into the Elite 15.

Category Two: Fastest Two-Race Average

HYROX ranks athletes by the average of their two fastest Elite race results from the previous 365 days. The cutoff date for Warsaw was March 26, 2026.
