HYROX, billed as ‘Europe’s largest fitness racing competition’, has confirmed the earlier than planned release of three new race dates for the UK 2022-23 season.
According to the indoor fitness specialist, the early event release is… ‘due to overwhelming demand for the hugely popular indoor, mass participation race for everybody, which launched for the first time in the UK in 2021.’
This early release for the 2022-23 season has been prompted by the company reporting ‘unprecedented ticket sales in the upcoming sold-out London race on April 30th.’
Over 4,000 athletes will compete in London, in the largest ever indoor fitness race, which will be hosted at ExCel London. The race in London is also one of the final opportunities for competitors to qualify for the Las Vegas World Championships on May 14th, which will conclude the international 2021-22 HYROX season.
HYROX UK season 2022-23 races announced:
- Birmingham – October 15th, 2022
- London – November 19th, 2022
- Manchester – January 28th, 2023
Sign-ups for these three races are now open, with early bird pricing for the first 300 tickets in each event category:
- Individual Pro – £69 (London £79): for the experienced racer, heavier weights make for a more challenging experience
- Individual – £69 (London £79): take on the standard HYROX for a challenging but achievable race
- Doubles – £119 (London £139): find a partner and take on the challenge as a pair running together but splitting the workouts across the event
- Team Relay – £156 (London £196): work as a team and split the work between four people for the fastest and most accessible version of the race
Participants in HYROX can also attend one of the gym tour events, hosted across the UK at gyms, run clubs and community fitness groups to get a taste for the competition.
HYROX was founded in 2017 in Germany and has since developed a large international following for its fitness racing concept. Combining running and functional movements, each race is the same wherever in the world it is hosted – with participants running 8 X 1km laps and performing a functional movement challenge between each lap.
HYROX has enjoyed a growing debut season in the UK with four races fielding progressively larger fields of athletes (London Sept 2021 679 athletes, Birmingham Oct 2021 729 athletes, Manchester Jan 2022 2,280 athletes, London April 2022 4,003 athletes).
