InBody HYROX Salt Lake City runs September 18 to 20, 2026 at the Salt Palace Convention Center, and it's a first: Utah has never hosted a HYROX race. Downtown venue, light rail at the door, and one honest warning for sea-level athletes further down.

When is Hyrox Salt Lake City 2026?

September 18 to 20, Friday through Sunday. Your race day is assigned with your start wave, and your exact start time comes from the organizer closer to the race. HYROX Youngstars runs the same weekend for ages 8 to 15, covered by the same spectator ticket.

Where is the race?

The Salt Palace Convention Center, 90 South West Temple, downtown. TRAX light rail practically delivers you to the door: Temple Square and Arena stations (Blue and Green lines) are each half a block away, and the Green line runs from the airport to downtown in about 20 minutes. Salt Lake City International (SLC) is roughly four miles out, one of the shortest airport-to-venue trips on the calendar.

The altitude question

Salt Lake City sits at about 1,300 metres. That's not mountain-town extreme, but if you train at sea level you'll feel it on the runs, especially the back half. The honest adjustment: treat your usual pace as slightly optimistic, start conservative, and let the last two runs tell you what you had. Flying in a day or two early helps more with sleep than with adaptation, which takes weeks, so pace is the lever you actually control.

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.

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 Salt Lake City?

The city has a real Hyrox training scene for a debut stop, including an official training club and an affiliated facility downtown. The Salt Lake City gym map has the list, with a link to what each gym publishes about its own training.

The Hyrox Salt Lake City page has the race facts and the waitlist. AthleteField matches athletes on real race data, same-gym athletes first, so when the Salt Lake City 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.
