Joanna Wietrzyk’s HYROX World Record
At HYROX Warsaw, Joanna Wietrzyk won the Elite Women’s race in a new world‑record time of 54:25, shaving nearly two minutes off her own January Phoenix Major mark of 56:03. HYROX’s calendar and global expansion — staged now in 85+ cities — are backing that elite performance with commercial deals like a new three‑year global partnership with Amazfit.

Joanna Wietrzyk cut the HYROX women’s world record to 54:25 in Warsaw on April 17, winning the Elite race by nearly two minutes against her own January mark. (boxrox.com) The previous record was 56:03, set by Wietrzyk at the Phoenix Major on January 29, 2026, when she lowered the old standard by 20 seconds. Warsaw took another 1 minute 38 seconds off that time. (boxrox.com) HYROX is a standardized indoor race: athletes run 1 kilometer, then complete one workout station, and repeat that sequence eight times. The fixed format is what makes a 54:25 in Warsaw directly comparable with a 56:03 in Phoenix. (hyrox.com) Warsaw was not a routine stop on the calendar. HYROX billed April 16-19 at PGE Narodowy as the final Major of the 2025-26 season, with Elite racing at the center of the event. (hyrox.com) The company’s scale has grown alongside those times. HYROX says it staged more than 80 global races in 2025, drawing more than 550,000 athletes and 350,000 spectators, and its event pages now span cities from New York to Denver. (hyrox.com, hyrox.com, hyrox.com) That expansion is pulling in bigger commercial partners. Amazfit announced a three-year global deal with HYROX on April 15, expanding an earlier regional arrangement into a worldwide partnership. (us.amazfit.com) Sport Industry Group reported the new agreement followed a regional partnership period in which HYROX sign-up numbers more than doubled in a year. Amazfit said the global deal will cover race-time integration, athlete training, and on-site brand presence. (sportindustry.co.uk, us.amazfit.com) Independent rankings pages updated Friday now list Wietrzyk’s 54:25 from Warsaw as the current Pro women’s world record. Earlier listings still showed Phoenix at 56:03, underscoring how quickly the benchmark moved in one season. (trainrox.com, roxlyfe.com) The result leaves HYROX with a new headline number just as it heads from its 2025-26 Majors toward the next championship cycle. In this sport’s fixed race format, every future women’s elite field now starts with 54:25 as the time to beat. (hyrox.com, hyrox.com)
