The History – From Startup to Fitness Phenomenon
Hyrox was founded in 2017 in Hamburg, Germany, by two visionary leaders:
Christian Toetzke – renowned organizer of large-scale mass participation sporting events
Moritz Fürste – three-time Olympic medalist & world champion
Together, they created a race format that combines the worlds of endurance and functional fitness – building a global community that goes far beyond traditional competitions.
