HYROX, the World Series of Fitness Racing announces its return to London for the final event of its debut season on April 30th at the ExCel Arena, with a field of over 2,500 participants expected to race across four different divisions: Individual Pro, Individual, Doubles and Team Relay. The event is anticipated to be the largest ever first season event for HYROX globally.
The HYROX London event in April concludes an enormously popular debut season, which consisted of four races across the UK: London (Sept ’21), Birmingham (Oct ’21), Manchester (Jan ’22), London (April ’22).
“The UK in 2021 was amazing, we had our most successful Season 1 ever and the response from the UK functional fitness and endurance communities was very welcoming. I am really excited to see how the UK develops for us as we conclude Season 1, we have a great contingent of UK athletes heading to the Las Vegas World Championships and the confidence we have in the market means we are able to plan for many more events including new locations in Season 2”
