Hyrox® Valencia 2026 takes place from 15 to 18 October 2026 at the Feria de Valencia. It is one of the season’s big events in Spain and also features the youth category Hyrox® Youngstars on 17 and 18 October. 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: 15-18 October 2026.
- Venue: Feria de Valencia.
- Youngstars: the youth category is held on 17-18 October.
- Registration and category schedules: check them on the official Hyrox® Spain website, where slots open and close.
The Feria de Valencia is a spacious, well-connected venue, comfortable both for competing and for supporting someone who is racing.
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-October, start preparing in the summer. 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 Valencia
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 Valencia that have it, paying by session only. Look for venues in the Hyrox® category or the CrossFit® category, filter by Valencia 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.
