About this Event

HALF ROX IS BACK FOR FALL 🎃

BFT Lincoln’s Half Rox returns on Saturday, October 17, 2026, with another full morning of running, sleds, ergs, lunges, wall balls and extremely questionable decisions involving burpees.

This HYROX-style fitness race gives athletes the opportunity to experience approximately half the running distance and half the station volume of a traditional HYROX race.

Compete as an individual or grab a partner and enter one of our doubles divisions. Whether you are preparing for an upcoming HYROX, testing your current fitness or looking for a challenging event with an incredible community around you, Half Rox is built for you.

And because Halloween is lurking around the corner, costumes are encouraged. Keep costumes safe for running and equipment use. Nothing should restrict your movement, obstruct your vision or create a tripping hazard. Capes are fun until they meet a SkiErg.

INDIVIDUAL AND DOUBLES RULES
Individual Athletes

Individual athletes complete every run and every workout station themselves.

Doubles Teams

Both partners must complete every 500-meter run together.

Workout station repetitions or distances may be divided between partners in any manner. One partner works at a time unless instructed otherwise by event staff.

Partners may switch as often as needed during the SkiErg, row, sleds, burpee broad jumps, farmers carry, lunges and wall balls.

Each partner must register for the event. There is a field in the registration to list the name of your partner.
