Can I fundraise for a specific charity of my choice?

No, this isn’t your typical fitness fundraiser. Race for Impact supports four curated High Impact Funds: Global Health, Mental Health, Climate Solutions, and Women’s Empowerment. Each fund contains a small group of charities selected for their extraordinary effectiveness - they have been evidenced to be 10 to 100 times more impactful than the average charity. You can read more about these funds and charity partners at https://raceforimpact.com/cause-areas. Note that your donations will be allocated amongst the organisations working on your Cause Area, and you are unable to raise funds for any organisations outside of those listed.

Just as mastering HYROX takes thousands of hours of focused training, evaluating which charities create the most impact requires deep expertise, rigorous analysis, and time. That’s why we partner with trusted charity evaluators like GiveWell, The Life You Can Save, Giving Green, and Founders Pledge. These organisations spend thousands of hours reviewing data, consulting experts, and stress-testing evidence to identify the highest-performing charities in the world. Our curated portfolios are optimised for effectiveness and transparency.

We believe that if you’re putting in the work, your donations should too. These funds ensure that every euro raised by Impact Racers goes where it can do the most good—no guesswork, just maximum impact. In sport, results matter. Charities are no different.

If you prefer to raise funds for a specific charity, perhaps an organisation that is local to you, you are of course very welcome to do that by purchasing a regular HYROX ticket and setting up your fundraiser independently outside Race For Impact. The nominated Charity tickets purchased on HYROX website must fundraise through Race For Impact.
