Station 6 of 8
Hyrox Farmers Carry 200m
200 metres carrying a kettlebell in each hand. The weight depends on the division and category.
Typical times and loads
Race split is the median athlete in each field last season, from real results. Fresh is the same effort done on its own. Pro athletes are fitter than the Open field, so a Pro time can be quicker even where the load is heavier.
| Category | Load | Fresh | Race split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Women | 2 × 16 kg | 2:05 | 2:18 |
| Open Men | 2 × 24 kg | 1:55 | 2:07 |
| Pro Women | 2 × 24 kg | 2:30 | 2:45 |
| Pro Men | 2 × 32 kg | 2:00 | 2:12 |
What a faster Farmers Carry is worth
Take 30 seconds off a fresh Farmers Carry 200m and the predicted finish comes down by about 33 seconds. The station is raced tired, so time saved fresh is worth a little more on race day.
One thing that helps
Grip gives out before the legs do. Walk briskly with short steps, keep the shoulders set, and put the bells down only when you have to, since every stop is a pick-up.
