HYROX Fitness Race in Abu Dhabi This July

Get ready, Abu Dhabi! On this day, the Emirate swaps sand for sweat as HYROX, the world’s most thrilling indoor fitness competition, takes over ADNEC like a whirlwind of adrenaline.

Hosted as part of Abu Dhabi Summer Sports, this is no ordinary fitness challenge. It’s for those daring enough to push their limits, those who see burpees as a great time and not just a punishment.

What is HYROX?

HYROX is a unique hybrid fitness race that throws "comfortable" out the window. Participants will complete eight one-kilometer runs, with a challenging fitness station waiting after each lap.

Think sledge pushes, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. It’s not just cardio—it’s cardio with serious consequences.

But here’s the good news: HYROX is designed for everyone. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned fitness fanatic, there’s a level suitable for you.

Choose How You Want to Compete

HYROX offers several ways to get involved, so you can pick what works best for you:

• Individual Competition: Take on the challenge solo, with separate categories for men and women.
  
  
• Pairs: Join forces in the doubles category (male, female, or mixed), so you can tackle the course as a team.
  
  
• Team Relay: Grab three friends and split the challenge into a relay race. Teamwork makes the dream work!
  
  
• Pro Division: If you’re up for an extra challenge, opt for this category, which features heavier weights and bigger bragging rights.
  
  
• Adaptive Division: Designed to spotlight athletes with physical disabilities, because true strength comes in many forms.
  
  

More Than Just a Race, It’s an Experience

Brought to life by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, HYROX, and Project 206, this event is more than a test of your endurance; it’s a celebration of movement and community.

With pumping music, cheering fans, and an electric atmosphere, you’ll feel unstoppable—even during the sled push.

Who Should Participate?

HYROX is for weekend warriors, gym enthusiasts, HIIT fans, and anyone who wants to prove their grit and determination. Never tried something like this before? Perfect. This is your chance to trade in excuses for pure adrenaline.
