About the event

HYROX Hannover, held on May 6, 2023, at Deutsche Messe AG, marked the close of the German events in the 2022/23 season, season 5 of the circuit. This indoor event hosted up to 2500 participants per day in an arena bathed in natural light thanks to its vast glass facade, creating an exceptional atmosphere. It stood out with blistering performances: Graham Halliday won the Men's Pro in 57:35, a personal best and seasonal victory, while Janne Thomsen dominated the Women’s Pro in 1:04:31, qualifying for the Elite 15. The course proved particularly fast, with a Men's Open median of 1:24:30, well below the European average.
