Hyrox® Barcelona 2026 takes place from 11 to 15 November 2026 at Fira Gran Via. It is one of the busiest events of the 26/27 season in Spain, in a large, well-connected venue. Here is what you will find, the venue, how to prepare and where to train the stations in the city.
What Hyrox® is
Hyrox® is a standardised event: 8 kilometres of running over eight 1 km legs, with a functional station between each leg. The course is identical at every venue, so you can train exactly what you will do on race day. The eight stations, in order: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. You compete in singles, doubles or relay, and in the open or Pro division.
Date and venue
- Dates: 11-15 November 2026.
- Venue: Fira Gran Via (the Fira de Barcelona exhibition centre).
- Registration and category schedules: check them on the official Hyrox® Spain website, where slots open and close.
Barcelona is one of the venues that draws the biggest crowds: great atmosphere and easy logistics if you are travelling in, with transport to the venue.
How to prepare
With 8 to 12 weeks of structured training you will arrive ready to complete your first event. For a race in mid-November, your preparation falls in the autumn. Work on three pillars at once:
- Running under fatigue: run after strength blocks to get used to moving while tired.
- Strength endurance: squats, lunges, deadlifts and pulling and pushing work cover almost every station.
- Station practice: drill your technique on the sled, the SkiErg and the wall balls before race day.
You have the week-by-week plan in how to prepare for your first Hyrox®, specific sessions in Hyrox® station WODs and the kit in what clothing and shoes you need.
Where to train Hyrox® in Barcelona
Not every gym has sleds, a SkiErg or sandbags. To train the stations with real equipment without taking out a membership, book a drop-in at boxes in Barcelona that have it, paying by session only. Look for venues in the Hyrox® category or the CrossFit® category, filter by Barcelona and check the equipment before booking. If you have never booked a one-off class, start with what a drop-in is and how it works.
