Hyrox Anaheim: dates, venue, and what to expect

Centr HYROX Anaheim runs December 3 to 6, 2026 at the Anaheim Convention Center, back in Anaheim for four days of racing on Katella Avenue.

When is Hyrox Anaheim 2026?

December 3 to 6, Thursday through Sunday. Your race day is assigned with your start wave, so an entry can land on any of the four days. Your exact start time comes from the organizer closer to the race.

Where is the race?

The Anaheim Convention Center, 800 W. Katella Avenue. Anaheim's regional transit hub, ARTIC on East Katella, brings in rail and bus services. ARTIC doesn't publish its distance to the convention center, so plan the last leg as a ride.

What's the format?

The same race in every city, which is the point of Hyrox. Eight 1 km runs, alternating with eight stations in a fixed order: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. Transitions through the roxzone count toward your time. Because the format never changes, an Anaheim result compares directly with one from any other city.

What divisions can you race?

Individual open and pro for men and women. Doubles in men's, women's and mixed, where the pair runs together and splits the station work, plus pro doubles. And relay, where a team of four splits the race.

Training in Anaheim?

The scene is Orange County more than Anaheim itself: a Hyrox Performance Center in Costa Mesa, a self-described official training club in Garden Grove, a CrossFit box inside the city, and studios in Irvine and Anaheim Hills. The Anaheim gym map has the list, with a link to what each gym publishes about its own training.

The Hyrox Anaheim page has the race facts and the waitlist. AthleteField matches athletes on real race data, same-gym athletes first, so when the Anaheim field opens, your gym's crew finds each other before race day. How a good target time is set and what a good Hyrox time is are the two most-asked questions we answer.
