HYROX HALF SIMULATION
Five Lakes CrossFit x Coach Kiwi
Think you’re ready to test your HYROX fitness?
Join Five Lakes CrossFit x Coach Kiwi for the HYROX Half Simulation — a race-style training experience designed to give you the intensity, structure, and energy of HYROX at half the distance of a full HYROX race.
Whether you're preparing for your first HYROX, already have a race on the calendar, are a seasoned competitor, or simply want to challenge your fitness — this event is for you.
You do not have to be an experienced HYROX athlete to participate.
Come test your engine, learn how to manage the transitions between running and functional stations, experience the demands of HYROX, and see where your current fitness stands.
THE DETAILS
Saturday, August 22, 2026
First Heat: 7:00 AM
New heats will begin approximately every 10 minutes.
Location:
Five Lakes CrossFit
24269 Indoplex Circle
Farmington Hills, MI
Registration is required. Space is limited.
Participants will select either the Singles or Doubles division when registering.
THE HALF SIMULATION
You’ll complete approximately half the volume of an official HYROX race:
- 500m Run
500m SkiErg - 500m Run
25m Sled Push - 500m Run
25m Sled Pull - 500m Run
40m Burpee Broad Jumps - 500m Run
500m Row - 500m Run
100m Farmer Carry - 500m Run
50m Sandbag Lunges - 500m Run
50 Wall Balls
That’s 4K of total running + all 8 HYROX functional stations.
The goal is to give you an opportunity to experience the flow and fatigue of a HYROX race without completing the full race volume.
SINGLES OR DOUBLES — YOU CHOOSE
Singles: Take on the entire simulation yourself and see what you can do.
Doubles: Grab a partner and tackle the simulation together. You'll run together and share the workload of the functional stations.
Doubles is a great option for newer athletes who want to experience HYROX alongside a training partner.
More Than a Simulation
Also Experience the HYROX Event Energy
The HYROX Half Simulation is about more than what happens on the competition floor. Come experience the energy, community, and excitement of race day featuring a live DJ, health and wellness vendors, interactive activations, and a community of athletes, supporters, and spectators. Whether you're competing or coming out to support, we want you to experience what makes the HYROX community special.
Stick around after the final heat for our Awards Ceremony sponsored by The Patch Holder, where we'll celebrate our top Singles and Doubles performances and recognize the athletes who came out to Earn Their Finish. Participants will also have opportunities to win prizes and giveaways from participating sponsors and vendors throughout the event. Interested in becoming a vendor or event partner?
