HYROX, ‘the World Series of Fitness Racing’, is releasing a documentary of its 2022 World Championship, with the official trailer available now. The HYROX World Championship was held in Las Vegas in May 2022.
The documentary, set for release in July and produced by Viscompark Media, offers up an in-depth look behind the scenes of HYROX.
‘The documentary follows the competition between previous world champion Hunter McIntyre and current North American champion Ryan Kent as they compete for the 2022 World Champion title. Simultaneously, European athletes Mirjam Von Rohr and Viola Oberlander come in with high expectations whilst American hopes lay with Kris Rugloski in the women’s field.’
The documentary is a look behind the scenes of what is being billed as ‘the world’s fastest growing fitness race’, capturing the drama of elite level competition as well as an international community of HYROX participants.
Premiering in July 2022, global release dates for the documentary will be announced in the coming weeks.
HYROX is the global fitness series, with 28 races held across 8 countries in the 2021-22 season, and with over 50,000 participants reported to have taken part. Each HYROX race is the same around the world, and competitors are ‘tested in every facet of athletic performance’ inside indoor racecourses.
Events start with a 1km run, followed by one functional fitness movement, repeated 8 times. Competitors qualified for the HYROX World Championships through placings in their respective age and race categories at official HYROX races during the 2021-22 season.
Christian Toetzke, Founder of HYROX, said “Our sport is accelerating rapidly in all areas but it’s the elite level where things are moving at a really crazy pace.
“Our ambitions for the pro side of the sport have only grown following what happened in Las Vegas and we thought it was right to tell that story in a format which would match the quality of the sport on display.”
Mo Fuerste, three-time Olympian and Co-Founder of HYROX, added “We are so excited to release the first of what we hope to be many in-depth features like this on our sport.
“We are still so young, yet we have already developed an amazing group of athletes. Qualifying for the World Championships this year meant you really had to be operating at the elite level.”
