HYROX pro 20-24 world champion 57:37

Madelyn Eybergen’s 57:37 at the HYROX World Championships in Stockholm on June 19 put the 24-year-old Canadian on top of the pro women’s 16-24 division and second overall in the pro women’s field. Canadian Running Magazine reported that the time gave Eybergen the age-group world title and made her the fastest Canadian woman ever in HYROX. The Stockholm result added another title to a year in which Eybergen had already emerged in Canadian distance running. Canadian Running identified her as the reigning U Sports cross-country champion and said her world-championship run broke the 60-minute barrier for the first time by a Canadian woman. (runningmagazine.ca) HYROX, which brands itself as the “World Series of Fitness Racing,” stages a standardized race format that combines eight 1-km runs with eight workout stations, according to the company and Canadian Running’s previous coverage. HYROX says the world championships are the season-ending event for athletes who qualify through age-group placings at races during the season. (runningmagazine.ca) ### How strong was the 57:37 in the broader field? Eybergen’s 57:37 was not only enough to win the 16-24 age-group title; it also placed her second overall among pro women in Stockholm. Canadian Running said Britain’s Saskia Millard won the overall pro women’s race in 57:15, while American Rachel Wade took third in 58:53. (runningmagazine.ca) The margin matters because HYROX age-group champions and overall podium finishers can overlap. In Eybergen’s case, the same run delivered both an age-group world championship and an overall runner-up finish against established pro athletes. ### Why was the result described as a national record? (runningmagazine.ca) Canadian Running said the 57:37 was the fastest time ever by a Canadian woman in HYROX and the first sub-60 by a Canadian woman. The magazine also reported that the run cut more than six minutes from Eybergen’s personal best. The record claim appears tied to the women’s national mark rather than only the 16-24 category. (runningmagazine.ca) The upstream briefing for this story described the result as a new national record in the professional 20-24 category, while Canadian Running’s race report framed it more broadly as the fastest Canadian women’s HYROX time on record. ### Who is Madelyn Eybergen outside HYROX? Eybergen came to Stockholm with a background that did not begin in fitness racing. Canadian Running said she was once a high jumper, ran her first track race in 2024, then won the 2024 OUA cross-country title for the University of Windsor before taking U Sports bronze and later the national university cross-country crown. (runningmagazine.ca) Her HYROX rise has also been quick. Canadian Running reported that Stockholm was only her second singles HYROX race after a 1:04:02 debut in Vancouver in December, and that she later raced mixed doubles in Ottawa with Haydn Thomas, where they clocked 52:44. ### How does HYROX qualification work from here? (runningmagazine.ca) HYROX says the world championships are fed by results from races across the season, with at least one qualification spot in each pro age group and mixed doubles division at every event. The company says athletes who earn a slot must accept it within 48 hours after the invitation is issued. Stockholm remains central to the calendar. (runningmagazine.ca) HYROX’s event page says Strawberry Arena in Solna hosted the 2026 world championships, and the same venue is scheduled to host INTERSPORT HYROX Stockholm from Dec. 10 to Dec. 13, 2026. ### Where does Wynn fit into the Stockholm story? The Sydney Morning Herald, cited in the source briefing for this story, separately reported that Australian athlete Wynn was part of the Australian mixed relay team that won a HYROX world title in Stockholm. (hyrox.com) That relay result sits alongside Eybergen’s individual age-group crown as part of the same championships. HYROX’s official world-championship page now points athletes toward qualification for the 2027 edition through races held during the current season. (hyrox.com 1) (hyrox.com 2)
