HYROX Madrid

Madrid is preparing to host Europe’s fitness event of the year, HYROX, which will take place at IFEMA from 27 to 30 November. Participants face an unusual challenge: an 8 km run interspersed with eight functional exercises, from Ski Erg and Sled Push to Burpee Broad Jumps and Wall Balls.

Here, speed is not the most important thing; physical preparation and endurance are essential. Each participant must complete the challenge before continuing. The competitions are open to everyone aged 16 and over and are divided into individual, doubles and professional categories, according to age and sex.

After the finish line, athletes receive their personal result and can see their position in the world rankings. On average, the course is completed in approximately an hour and a half, and almost everyone finishes successfully.
