The first Regional of the season is set to kick off in Washington D.C., with the Individuals racing in the evening on Saturday, March 7th.

Up for grabs is a single entry into the World Championships in Stockholm. Also on the line for those already qualified: the opportunity to be named Americas Champion, along with a prize purse that matches the Majors from this season.

Here is a breakdown of the individual lineups as they stand today, listed in order of seed times:

Women’s Field

1. Lauren Weeks
2. Vivian Tafuto
3. Morgan Schulz
4. Katherine Fahsbender
5. Carolyn Watkins
6. Audrey Skiver
7. Terra Jackson
8. Amy Bevilacqua
9. Alandra Greenlee
10. Lauren Hewson
11. Lianne Girard
12. Lauren Griffith
13. Kris Rugloski
14. Rachel Legacy
15. Lindsay Bessegato

  • Weeks and Tafuto are the only two athletes already qualified. If they finish 1–2, the Worlds spot will roll down to 3rd.
  • Schulz and Fahsbender recently qualified for Doubles in Phoenix and now go head-to-head as two of the top seeds.
  • Canadians Girard and Bessegato are the only non-American contenders.
  • Keep an eye on Audrey Skiver and Carolyn Watkins as potential dark horses. Their PRs of 1:02:37 and 1:01:31 respectively put them firmly in the mix.

There are some impressive accolades in this field, including:

  • 2022 World Champion Kris Rugloski
  • Both parts of the 2025 World Champion Doubles team Weeks and Lauren Griffith
  • 2025 8th-place finisher Amy Bevilacqua
  • Multi-time WC qualifiers Terra Jackson and Alandra Greenlee

Men’s Field

1. Dylan Scott
2. Hunter McIntyre
3. Rich Ryan
4. Cole Learn
5. Jack Driscoll
6. Ryan Douglas
7. Dawson Miller
8. Gabriel Heck
9. Ryan Kent
10. Greyson Kilgore
11. Frédéric Dubé
12. Colin Stiefer
13. Stephen Pelkofer
14. Josh Ward
15. Isaac Sanderson

Hunter stated on his podcast this week that he does not plan to attend. If that holds true, Ryan Callahan would take his spot.

  • Scott, McIntyre, and Ryan are the only three athletes already qualified.
  • Cole Learn is the only other athlete who has competed in a Major this season, recently finishing 7th in Phoenix.
  • Jack Driscoll has raced Pro nine times already this season and racked up four victories, most recently in Las Vegas.
  • In addition to Learn, the Canadian representation includes Dubé, Douglas, and Sanderson.
  • Although lower in the rankings, Greyson Kilgore owns one of the fastest PRs in the field at 55:33.
  • While American, Gabe Heck has made the longest journey, traveling from his current residence in Thailand.
  • Stiefer and Kent have both qualified for Worlds before. Can they punch their ticket again?
  • If Ryan Callahan gets the bid, watch out — he recently beat six of these men in Phoenix.

This Week in Hybrid Media

Race Brain is back to what they do best with a nonsensical bracket-style debate to determine which Olympic sport would best translate to HYROX.

Over on the Hybrid Sport Media podcast, JK sat down with Race Brain’s own Brakken Kraker to talk all things hybrid.

There’s also something intriguing brewing. “The Decathlon of Fitness”? The account currently follows the founders of Rogue Fitness — and as of a few days ago, the HYROX founders as well. Hmm...

After PUMA made a splash with their first HYROX-specific shoe release, adidas has entered the arena in a big way with the launch of the Adizero Dropset Elite. Check out more info on it here.

That’s it for this week. Stay tuned as we approach the D.C. Regional.
