HYROX Paris 2026 - The 11 Pro Women to Watch at the Starting Line

The Paris event features a strong lineup in the women's category. A high-level French delegation, alongside some international athletes with very solid credentials. Here are 11 athletes to follow during this Parisian weekend.

1. Ambre Keram 🇫🇷 - PB 1:00:59

The French revelation of the season. French record holder in Mechelen a few weeks ago. A clear progression after achieving 1:04:08 in Nice, 1:04:29 in Toulouse, and 1:07:49 in Paris 2025. She arrives in Paris as the top French contender for the podium.

2. Viola Oberländer 🇩🇪 - PB 1:01:28

The German ELITE. 56 HYROX races under her belt, 6 seasons, metronomic consistency. Her PB dates back to Istanbul 2026, but she consistently runs between 1:02 and 1:05 for the past two years, including in the most competitive Pro Women races (Frankfurt, Berlin, Phoenix, Rome). A very serious podium contender.

3. Anne-Caroline Charpentier - PB 1:02:11

The historic French leader. Her 1:02:11 in London 2025 remains a national benchmark. More recently, 1:06:12 in Amsterdam 2026 and 1:06:45 in Paris 2025 confirm her place among the top athletes. In this home race, she'll be fired up.

4. Alice Schürer 🇦🇹 - PB 1:02:37

Recent results: 58:48 at the EMEA Championships 2026 (in the Women's division, therefore with lighter weights), 1:04:32 in Copenhagen 2026, 1:04:15 in Berlin 2025. Likely just short of a podium finish.

5. Jezabel Kremer 🇫🇷 - PB 1:02:58

The French ELITE veteran. 46 races under her belt, AG 40-44, but an ELITE time that would make most 25-29 year olds envious. Her 1:02:58 dates back to Glasgow 2025 in the ELITE Women's division, and she consistently runs between 1:03 and 1:06 for the past 3 years. In Paris, she's aiming for a top 10 overall finish and an undisputed victory in her age group.

6. Elisa Da Silva 🇫🇷 - PB 1:06:43

The rising young talent. Bordeaux 2025, 1:06:43 in the Pro format. Then 1:07:39 in Paris 2025, 1:08:26 at the World Championships 2025. Elisa consistently achieves podium finishes and shows constant improvement race after race. A top 10 finish seems achievable.

7. Anissa Alili Saadi 🇫🇷 - PB 1:07:03

Great consistency this season. 1:07:03 in Mechelen, 1:09:35 in Nice, and 1:10:41 in Paris 2025. Three Pro Women races in 12 months, all between 1:07 and 1:10.

8. Claire Pelfrene 🇫🇷 - PB 1:08:05

AG 40-44. Her 1:08:05 in Mechelen 2026 places her in the same league as the best 25-34 year olds. A recently set personal best, indicating an athlete whose full potential may not yet be reached.

9. Carla Ortiz 🇫🇷 - PB 1:09:14

Race in Istanbul 2026. Interesting trajectory: 1:15:46 in Paris 2024, then 1:09:14 in Istanbul 2026. Clear progression in 18 months. At home, a sub-1:10 time should be the minimum. We expect her to lower her record even further.

10. Meriam Loughzal 🇫🇷 - PB 1:09:22

Five sub-1:11 races in 12 months. 1:09:22 Stockholm 2025, 1:09:44 Turin 2026, 1:10:59 Poznan 2025, 1:11:12 Copenhagen 2026. Great consistency despite a busy race schedule.

11. Adélaïde Darras 🇫🇷 - PB 1:09:34

An athlete building her performance race after race, consistently between 1:09 and 1:14 in recent outings. A credible outsider for the top 10.

They are ready to battle it out, and everything is set for some great races and flying times in the Parisian arena.
