HYROX Hamburg 2026 Race Preview
Three men’s World Champions meet in Hamburg: Dylan Scott, Tim Wenisch and Alexander Rončević. In the women’s race, reigning World Champion Alyssa McElheny faces a field including Joanna Wietrzyk and Lauren Weeks.
Saturday’s Doubles brings further interest, with Vivian Tafuto and Lauren Weeks, Lauren Griffith and Sydney Wells, and Stephen Pelkofer and Dylan Scott among the announced pairings. Several athletes will race on both days, adding recovery between Singles and Doubles to the challenge.
The new Challenger 15 races also give athletes a chance to earn their way into the next Elite 15 field, making those contests worth following alongside the headline races.
See the announced Elite 15 and Challenger 15 lineups.
Why Hamburg Matters for the HYROX Elite Series
Hamburg opens the 2026/27 Elite Series, giving the leading Singles athletes and Doubles teams their first head-to-head test of the new season.
It also introduces Challenger 15 racing alongside the Elite 15. The Challenger races provide another route into the top field: winners earn a place in the corresponding Elite 15 race at the next Elite Series event.
That gives viewers two battles to follow: established contenders competing in the Elite 15, and athletes chasing their opportunity to join them.

HYROX Hamburg Results
Read on for the main results from the event…
Elite Women
The Women’s Elite race was won by Australia’s Joanna Wietrzyk, having led the entire race. She faced stiff competition from the USA’s Vivian Tafuto in the latter half of the race, with Vivian finishing just 5 wall balls behind Joanna.
The podium was rounded off by 3-time World Champion Lauren Weeks, who passed Lena on the wall balls.
There was heartbreak for rookie athlete Lena Putters, who was on course for a 3rd place finish – she unfortunately missed a running lap and was given a 3 minute time penalty, making her the first athlete to make use of the new penalty box rule. She will, however, likely be encouraged by her debut Elite performance and is surely one of the favourites to take one of the remaining qualifying spots in future Majors.
The full results were as follows:
Wietrzyk, Joanna – 00:58:22 (Q)
Tafuto, Vivian – 00:58:35 (Q)
Weeks, Lauren – 00:59:14 (Q)

Steensgaard, Ida Mathilde Rubens – 01:08:32
Elite Men
2024 World Champion Alex Roncevic won the Men’s Elite 15 race, in a blisteringly fast World Record time of 00:53:15 – beating the old record (which had stood since Dec 2023) by 7 seconds! Alex led for the majority of the race, with Dylan Scott putting pressure on during the second half. Dylan ultimately finished in second place, just 23 seconds behind Alex. Third place was taken by Dutch athlete Hidde Weersma in a personal best time of 00:54:26 (beating his previous best time by 1 minute and 43 seconds!).
The full results were as follows:
Roncevic, Alexander – 00:53:15 (Q)

Elite Women’s Doubles
The Women’s Elite Doubles on Saturday night brought lots of drama, with penalties creating a nerve wracking 3 way battle for 3rd place.
The race was dominated by Lauren Griffith / Lauren Weeks, and Jess Pettrow / Joanna Wietrzyk. They exchanged the lead frequently in the early stages, until Lauren and Lauren ultimately took the lead on the BBJs and did not relinquish it.
Gabriella Moriarty and Zara Piergianni completed the wall balls in 3rd place, but had 60 excruciating seconds of penalties to serve in the penalty box. Camilla Massa and Seka Arning had 15 seconds of penalties to serve, meaning it looked like Margot and Charlotte Vandenlindenloof might take the 3rd spot, but some no reps on the wall balls meant that Gabriella and Zara clung on to 3rd place – crossing the line just 2 seconds ahead of Margot and Charlotte and Camilla and Seka!
There was also drama when Melanie Maurer and Jennifer Nikolaus were disqualified for missing a lane of burpee broad jumps. Melanie later explained that this happened because a judge told them they had finished.
The full results were as follows:
Lauren Griffith, Lauren Weeks – 00:54:39 (Q)
Jess Pettrow, Joanna Wietrzyk – 00:55:10 (Q)
Gabriella Moriarty, Zara Piergianni – 00:57:07 (Q)

Elite Men’s Doubles
The Men’s Elite Doubles was won by 2024 World Champion, Alex Roncevic and 2025 World Champion, Tim Wenisch in a time of 49:17. The win never looked in doubt with the pairing taking the lead from the start and never letting up.
An impressive performance from Jake Williamson and Alen Ploj gave them the second qualifying spot for Stockholm.
In the battle for the third and final qualifying place, there was heartbreak for Hidde Weersma and Thierry Willigenburg who came into the wall balls in second place, but numerous no-reps allowed James Kelly and Jake Dearden to pass them for the third qualifying spot, despite entering the wall balls 37secs behind.
There was also drama for Charlie Boterill and Ollie Russell who finished the wall balls in third place but due to 30 seconds of penalties picked up on the BBJs, had to stand in the penalty box, falling from 3rd to 5th place.
The full results were as follows:
Alexander Roncevic, Tim Wenisch – 00:49:17 (Q)
Jake Williamson, Alen Ploj – 00:49:53 (Q)
James Kelly, Jake Dearden – 00:50:13 (Q)
