TOP 10 — BURPEE BROAD JUMP

The Burpee Broad Jump is the fourth station in HYROX and covers 80 metres of forward movement. Athletes perform continuous burpee broad jumps — dropping to the floor, completing a burpee, then jumping forward as far as possible. This station is widely regarded as one of the most gruelling in HYROX, combining full-body strength with cardiovascular endurance.

The fastest burpee broad jump times in HYROX history sit around 2:30–3:30 for elite men and 3:00–4:30 for elite women. Jump distance per rep is critical — athletes who average 2+ metres per jump complete the 80m distance in roughly 40 jumps, while shorter jumpers may need 55–65 reps.

Pacing is essential on this station. Going too fast early leads to severe fatigue that impacts both the remaining burpee broad jumps and subsequent running and station performance. The best athletes maintain a steady rhythm rather than sprinting the first 20 metres.

Consider that many of the fastest single-station times are often achieved at the expense of the overall race time. The true elite racers — those finishing in the top 5 overall at Elite 15 events — typically hit the Burpee Broad Jump in around 2:22 (men) and 3:16 (women).
