What is the HYROX Perform Turf?
The Perform Turf is the official turf used in HYROX races. It’s designed for sled pushes and pulls, fast transitions, and the other movements of race day. The turf has a 16 mm non-abrasive pile for grip, and it’s made of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). It meets SVHC REACH, VOC, and EN/ISO flame-resistance standards.
What configurations are available?
You can choose from these configurations:
- Plain black roll: 16.5 m (54.1 ft) long and 2 m (6.6 ft) wide, covering about 355 square feet.
- Two lanes: 12.5 m (41 ft) long and 2 m (6.6 ft) wide, covering about 269 square feet.
- Two lanes with an end zone or logo end zone: 16.2 m (53.2 ft) long and 2 m (6.6 ft) wide, covering about 349 square feet.
The turf’s lane and end zone pieces are modular, so you can build a layout that fits your facility. Lanes are available with white tufted lines.
How is the turf installed?
The turf is installed over a prepared subfloor using a moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive. Before installation, the turf needs to acclimate for 24 to 48 hours. The room should be kept between 65°F and 75°F with humidity at or below 65%, and this needs to be maintained for at least 48 hours before, during, and after installation. Concrete subfloors need a moisture test and must be smooth, level, clean, and dry. The seams are weighted with concrete blocks until the adhesive cures, and foot traffic and rolling loads must be kept off the floor for at least 24 hours. Contact our team to discuss installation options and requirements for your space.
How do I clean the turf?
Keep the turf clean by mopping with a neutral pH floor cleaner diluted in warm water, then rinse the area with clean water and blot up any excess liquid. Don’t use cleaners that contain chlorine bleach, or cleaners with a pH above 9 or below 5. Clean spills promptly, and remove solid residue with a spatula or table knife before cleaning. For animal waste, neutralize the area with equal parts white distilled vinegar and water, then flush with water. Brush the turf periodically against the grain of the fibers with a synthetic-bristle brush, and never use a metal or wire brush.
How do I protect the turf?
Don’t place furniture or equipment with sharp or jagged edges on the turf, since they can puncture or tear it. Keep the turf away from sprinkler systems and hard water, which can leave mineral deposits, and away from reflected sunlight from windows, which can fuse the fibers. Don’t allow cigarettes to touch the turf.
What warranty comes with the turf?
The turf comes with a 5-year warranty from the date of shipment. It covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and it guarantees that the turf won’t wear more than 50% of its surface pile through normal use. It also guarantees that UV degradation or loss of tensile strength won’t exceed 50% during the warranty period. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only. It doesn’t cover improper installation, normal wear beyond the guarantees above, damage from misuse or unapproved cleaning products, damage from rolling loads, or material installed outdoors. It also excludes commercial kitchens and auto repair facilities, where the turf may be exposed to grease or oils.
