A 2-Minute Penalty on the Wall Balls? The New Rule Explained

There's a new Hyrox rule for the 2025-26 season that you may not have heard about: no more chalk at the Wall Ball station. This has largely gone under the radar, but it's a huge change for anyone racing.

I used to use chalk myself, but it was always a mess. At the end of the race, you're soaked, the wall balls are wet, and the chalk is useless. It gets lumpy and can even get in your eyes, blurring your vision and costing you precious seconds. This rule change might be Hyrox's way of cleaning up the station, but it also creates a major problem for a lot of athletes.

But don't worry, there's a solution. We designed our ultra-lightweight Hyrox gloves specifically for moments like these. They're built with a breathable mesh that keeps your hands cool and a high-quality grip that locks you in, no matter how much you sweat.

These gloves are a game-changer for every station. On the SkiErg and rower, they give you the grip you need on a wet handle, and on the farmers carry, they help you go unbroken. It's a small change that saves you seconds, builds confidence, and helps you glide through the race without ever having to stop for chalk.

Championships are won by seconds. Is your chalk bucket costing you the race?
