HYROX

HYROX is a global fitness event combining running and functional workout stations.

It consists of a rotating circuit, where participants run 1km, complete 1 functional workout station, and repeat 8 times.

The functional movements include: 1000m SkiErg; 50m Sled push; 50m Sled pull; 80m Burpee broad jumps; 1000m Rowing; 200m Farmers carry; 100m Sandbag lunges; 100 x Wall balls.

You can read about the full details of the workout here.

Yes, participants run 1km between each functional exercise.

The running course leads around the workout stations. Depending on location, athletes may run multiple laps to complete one km. The running track and individual workout stations are clearly separated from one another.

HYROX is a global fitness race with events in over 11 countries and 30 cities. Events are scheduled throughout the year and usually take place in large indoor exhibition halls.

To find a HYROX event near you, visit the Find My Race page on the HYROX website.

While HYROX is designed to be a Fitness Race for Every Body, it is still important to train in strength and endurance.

To find out more on how to train specifically for HYROX, please visit the event preparation page on their website. HYROX recommend that you train in a HYROX partner gym where possible.

To find a Partner Gym, you can use HYROX’s Partner Gym Finder.

Open – take on the standard HYROX for a challenging but achievable race for everyone.

Pro – for the experienced racer, heavier weights make for a more challenging experience.

Doubles – find a partner and take on the challenge as a pair, running together but splitting the workload of the exercises.

Relay – come together with your friends or family and race the relay where each member of the team does 2 times 1 km and 2 workouts.

There are two ways to fundraise for Macmillan through HYROX. You can either register for a Macmillan charity place, or, if you already have a place for a HYROX event, you can sign up to fundraise for Macmillan here. 

If you sign up for a Macmillan charity place, entry is £62 with a fundraising pledge of £400 excluding gift aid. If you sign up for a Macmillan doubles charity place, entry is £59 with a fundraising pledge of £400 per person (£800 for a doubles team) excluding gift aid.  

If you wish to cancel your place, you will need to contact the HYROX’s ticketing team Vivenu. You can contact them using the link below. 

Cancel via Vivenu 

Once you have cancelled your place, please email us at fitnesschallenge@macmillan.org.uk so that we can also update our systems. 

HYROX manage transfers and deferrals. You can request to defer or transfer your place by contacting HYROX via their contact form. Please note, deferrals must be requested before the second last Friday (one week before) the relevant event weekend at 11:59 pm to be processed.

HYROX are unable to approve deferrals requested the week before an event. If you require a deferral in exceptional circumstances under these conditions, please contact us directly.

Please find HYROX’s Contact Form here. 

If an event is full, unfortunately we cannot obtain new registrations. You can register your interest on the HYROX waitlist and keep an eye out for future events.

If you have a Macmillan Charity Place, your fundraising target is £400 excluding gift aid. This is per person for solo and doubles, so if you are registered as a team for doubles, your team target will be £800. 

If you are using your own place to fundraise, there is no minimum pledge.

For events from Glasgow 2025 onwards, you will be automatically set up with a fundraising page when you personalise your ticket.

If you have a general rather than charity admission into the event, or if you are taking part in HYROX Manchester 2025, you can set up a fundraising page by visiting JustGiving, selecting Macmillan Cancer Support as your chosen charity, and selecting your HYROX event from the list.

The money you raise is then transferred directly to us.

If you set up a fundraising page using a different email to the one you used to sign up to HYROX, please email to let us know at fitnesschallenge@macmillan.org.uk.

For events from HYROX Glasgow 2025 onwards, you’ll be automatically set up with an individual fundraising page when you personalise your ticket.

If you’d like to fundraise as a Team, you can select the ‘Create a team’ option and invite others to join. You can find full guidance on Just Giving’s webpage:

A guide to Team Pages – JustGiving Help

Please note, if you have a Charity Place, your team’s minimum pledge is £400 x the number of team members. So, if you are a team of 2, your joint target is £800.

Your HYROX place will never be affected by your fundraising. We ask that you do your best to ensure as much money raised as possible goes towards supporting people living with cancer.

HYROX will inform you of your exact start time by email on the Wednesday before the event. Start times are also available via: https://startlist.hyrox.com/ in approximately 3 days out from the event. Please note, divisions are divided into individual start waves and so have different start times.

It is recommended that you arrive at the venue at least 90 minutes before you start.

You will also receive an email from HYROX 3 weeks before your event informing you of the timeslots for each division to allow you to plan your arrival and departure in advance.

Information on check-ins, ceremonies, division start times, and the venue map will also be added onto the event page.

Spectator tickets can be purchased online on the event page of the HYROX website under ‘Register Now’ or on-site on event day. On-site tickets subject to availability and purchasable by debit card only.

It’s highly recommended that spectator tickets are purchased well in advance of the event to avoid missing out. Macmillan is unable to obtain spectator tickets once tickets sell out.

Children under 12 do not require a ticket but must be accompanied by a ticketed adult.

Spectator tickets are £15/€15 per day or £25/€25 for days 1 and 2. 

Yes! Macmillan will be at all UK and Ireland HYROX events on the Saturday and Sunday. We have a stall where you can collect any event day kit, have a free sports massage and get your exclusive Macmillan x HYROX patch. Make sure to come over and say hi!

Team Macmillan will be present on the Saturday and Sunday of events in UK and Ireland. If you are racing on these days, please come on by to the Macmillan stand to collect your patch.
