Cole Learn

Cole Learn’s path to the top of HYROX has been anything but conventional. A lifelong athlete who played college football, Learn eventually found CrossFit in his late twenties and spent the next seven-plus years pursuing the sport at a high level. Along the way, he and his wife opened their own gym in Ontario, Canada, growing it from a small training space into a full-scale fitness center.

Learn discovered HYROX in 2023, and the combination of running and functional strength immediately played to his strengths. He finished his first HYROX Pro race in Chicago in 1:02:24 before committing more fully to the sport and dramatically increasing his running and endurance training. The results followed quickly. Learn broke the one-hour barrier with a 57:56 victory in Houston in 2025, then lowered his time to 55:30 with another win in Boston. That breakthrough helped propel him into HYROX’s Elite 15 and established Learn among the top athletes in the sport.

Since then, Learn has continued to push the pace. He won the 2025 HYROX Chicago Pro race in 54:36 and, in August 2026, delivered a career-best 53:30 performance to win HYROX Shenzhen. His success has also extended into doubles and relay competition, with multiple victories across the 2026 season. Now, as Rogue’s first HYROX athlete, Learn brings together the strength built through years of CrossFit with the speed and endurance required to compete at the highest level of hybrid racing.
