Rob's story
Rob took on HYROX in 2023 for his sister-in-law Dawn, who sadly passed away later that year from melanoma.
"She is my main motivation. She is what is going to get me to the end… Come hell or high water, I’m getting to the end somehow. I’ll get through those hundred wall balls at the end, because of her, because I’m doing it for her.
"If you can run 5K, or you can run/walk 5k, then you can do a HYROX. It’s not all about super elite athletes, it is an event for everyday athletes. If you’re going to the gym and you’re exercising on a regular basis, then definitely HYROX is something you can achieve with a bit of work."
