- The HYROX sled push weight is 225 lb (102 kg) for Open Women, 335 lb (152 kg) for Open Men, 335 lb (152 kg) for Pro Women, and 445 lb (202 kg) for Pro Men.
- Every division pushes the sled 50 m, and these figures are current for Season 9 (2026/27).
- Open Men and Pro Women carry the same load, so the men's Open sled equals the women's Pro sled.
- The published weight is the total you move, including the sled itself, not just the plates added on top.
The HYROX sled push is the heaviest single load of the race, and what you push depends on your division. Open Women push 225 lb (102 kg), Open Men push 335 lb (152 kg), Pro Women push 335 lb (152 kg), and Pro Men push 445 lb (202 kg). Each total includes the sled itself, and the lane is always 50 m long no matter which division you race. These loads are set by the official HYROX rulebook and are current for Season 9 (2026/27).
HYROX Sled Push Weight by Division
Here is the full HYROX sled push weight table in both pounds and kilograms. Every figure is the total competition load, sled included, current for Season 9 (2026/27).
| Division | Sled Push Weight (lb and kg) |
|---|---|
| Open Women | 225 lb (102 kg) |
| Open Men | 335 lb (152 kg) |
| Pro Women | 335 lb (152 kg) |
| Pro Men | 445 lb (202 kg) |
Open Women vs Open Men vs Pro
The four divisions stack in a clean order. Open Women carry the lightest sled. Open Men and Pro Women carry an identical middle load, which is the single most misread fact on this station: a woman racing Pro pushes exactly what a man racing Open pushes. Pro Men carry the heaviest sled of the four. PRO divisions use heavier loads than Open
If you only want the load for one division, the Open Men weight standards and the Open Women weight standards pages give you the sled push figure plus every other station for that bracket.
Mixed Doubles and Relay HYROX sled push weight
Doubles and Relay use the same per-division sled loads as Singles, so a Pro Doubles team pushes the Pro sled and an Open Doubles team pushes the Open sled. The one rule to remember is that Mixed Doubles uses the men's Open load class for the sled push, regardless of who on the team does the pushing. To compare any format side by side, open the RoxTribe weight standards tool and switch divisions.
How Far Is the HYROX Sled Push?
The HYROX sled push covers 50 m, and that distance is the same for every division. The weight changes between brackets, the distance never does. On the floor the lane is usually broken into shorter back-and-forth lengths rather than one continuous run, so you reset your stance, drive the sled to the far line, turn, and push back until you have covered the full 50 m.
Like every functional station, the sled push follows a 1000 m run, so you reach the sled with legs that are already taxed. That run-then-load pattern is what makes the sled feel heavier on race day than the same weight does fresh in the gym.
Does the HYROX Sled Weight Include the Sled?
Yes. The published HYROX sled push weight is the total load you move across the floor, sled and plates together, not the count of plates added on top. This trips up a lot of athletes because online tables disagree: some report the total competition weight, others quietly report only the plate load, and the two never match.
The sled has its own mass, and it sits on competition carpet that adds real friction. Those two factors mean the resistance you feel is the full system, frame plus plates plus floor. The bare sled mass is not a fixed published figure and varies with the hardware a venue uses, so the only honest number to quote is the total competition load. RoxTribe always reports that total, which is why our figures read higher than a plate-only count you might see elsewhere.
What the HYROX Sled Push Weight Means for Your Pacing
The sled push lands second in the running order, right after your first 1000 m run, so you hit a near-maximal load while your heart rate is still climbing. The full station order is SkiErg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jump, Rowing, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, Wall Balls, and the sled push sits early enough that a blown effort here taxes everything after it. Treat the weight as a strength problem, not a sprint. Most athletes do better with short controlled bursts and brief resets than with one redline push that ends in a long stand-around.
Body position decides how much of your strength reaches the sled. Set a strong forward lean, keep your arms long, and drive through your legs rather than yanking with your upper body. The coach Rich Ryan has a useful breakdown of body angle and leg drive at race weight; his walkthrough is worth watching before you next train the station.
How long should the HYROX sled push take?
There is no official time standard for the sled push, so any number you read is a benchmark, not a rule. Strong athletes often clear the lane in roughly a couple of minutes; many take longer, especially when there is a queue for a sled. The smarter target is consistency: a split you can repeat without wrecking the run that follows beats a one-off hero effort that leaves you walking the next kilometre. Track your own time over a few sessions and treat it as a personal benchmark.
How to Train for the HYROX Sled Push Weight
Train above race weight and the competition sled starts to feel manageable. Loading your practice sled heavier than your division's load builds the leg strength and the confidence to keep it moving when fatigue sets in. Four things are worth drilling:
- Push from a low, forward angle. Get your hips down and your shoulders ahead of your hands so leg drive does the work.
- Train single-leg strength. Split squats, lunges, and step-ups carry over directly to the alternating drive of a sled push.
- Practise under fatigue. Run before you push so your sled work happens with the same tired legs you will have on race day.
- Rehearse your segments. Decide in advance how many short bursts you will break the lane into, then practise resetting fast between them.
Before you build a block around a target load, confirm the exact figure for your bracket on the RoxTribe weight standards tool, which renders the sled push and every other station for the division you race.

How far is the HYROX sled push?
The HYROX sled push covers 50 m, the same for every division, usually broken into shorter lengths down the lane. Like all stations it follows a 1000 m run, so you reach the sled with fatigued legs.
Does the HYROX sled push weight include the sled?
Yes. The published weight is the total load you move, including the sled itself, not just the plates added on top. The sled's own mass plus carpet friction add real resistance. RoxTribe reports the total competition load.
What is the HYROX sled push weight for women?
Open Women push 225 lb (102 kg) and Pro Women push 335 lb (152 kg), both totals including the sled. Pro Women carry the same load as Open Men. Check your exact division on the Open Women weight standards page.
What is the HYROX sled push weight for men?
Open Men push 335 lb (152 kg) and Pro Men push 445 lb (202 kg), including the sled. Pro Men carry the heaviest sled push load. Open Men carry the same load as Pro Women.
What is the difference between open and pro sled push weight?
PRO divisions use heavier loads than Open. For the sled push, Pro loads are heavier: Open Men push 335 lb (152 kg) while Pro Men push 445 lb (202 kg). Open Men and Pro Women share the same sled load.
What is the HYROX sled push weight in lbs?
In pounds, the totals are 225 lb (Open Women), 335 lb (Open Men), 335 lb (Pro Women), and 445 lb (Pro Men). Each is the total including the sled.
How much does the HYROX sled weigh empty?
HYROX publishes the total competition weight you push, not the bare-sled mass, which varies by venue. RoxTribe reports the official totals: 335 lb (152 kg) for Open Men, for example, rather than an added-plate count.
Is the HYROX sled push hard?
For most athletes, yes. It is one of 8 stations and lands early in the race after your first run, so the load feels heavier than a fresh gym session. Carpet friction adds resistance, and body angle and leg drive matter as much as raw strength.
How long should the HYROX sled push take?
There is no official time standard. Strong athletes often clear it in a couple of minutes; many take longer, especially with queues. Short controlled bursts with brief resets usually beat one all-out effort. Treat any split as a personal benchmark.
Is the HYROX sled push weight the same for doubles?
Doubles and Relay use the same per-division loads as Singles. In Mixed Doubles the sled is set to the men's Open load class. See every division side by side on the RoxTribe weight standards tool.
