Toronto, our first field, has 640+ athletes. Johannesburg opens at 100.
Do you need a Hyrox gym at all?
No. The race is eight 1 km runs and eight stations, so what you need is running volume plus regular access to sleds, ergs, a sandbag and a wall-ball target. A Hyrox class mostly buys you three things: pacing practice at race intensity, time on race-standard equipment, and a crew who'll be on the same start line. The station training guide covers what to do with whatever gym you have.
Racing Johannesburg?
The Hyrox Johannesburg page has the race facts and the waitlist. AthleteField matches athletes by pace, gym, division and race.
