TRYKA

Overview

What it is

TRYKA is an indoor functional fitness race built on the same run-station-run pattern as HYROX: 8 runs alternating with 8 functional stations, ending in a 40 m sprint finish. The Open race runs 8 × 800 m; the Beginner race 8 × 500 m.

Weights are prescribed per division and published in the TRYKA Rule Book (Version 2, 25/26 season), which defines 29 penalty codes — from 10-second additions up to disqualification.
