HYROX was founded in 2017 by three partners. Christian Toetzke has over 20 years of experience in the global sports event business. Two-time Field Hockey Olympic Gold Medalist, Moritz F\u00fcrste, brings an extensive sports network, and Michael Trautmann, founder of the advertising agency thjnk, brings global marketing expertise. The vision of HYROX was to create a new sports product to fill a gap in the market with new, dynamic and inspiring concepts. HYROX is inspired by a simple idea. Millions of athletes all over the world who do not play sports but prefer functional fitness or working out at the gym, do not have a measurable competition. At HYROX everyone around the world competes in the same race, on the same course and each HYROX event will host up to 3,000 participants per day in an indoor arena. The competition starts with a 1 km run, followed by 1 functional workout and repeats 8 times. This combination of functional exercises and endurance makes HYROX unique yet still attainable for people from varying athletic and fitness backgrounds.<\/p>\n
Christian Toetzke, Founder and Managing Director at HYROX, said: \u201cMCF Corporate Finance has provided us with valuable support throughout the entire process, which was instrumental for reaching a satisfying outcome for both parties.\u201d<\/p>\n
