What is a HYROX training camp?

A few days to two weeks of training built around the HYROX race: eight 1 km runs, each followed by a functional station (SkiErg, sled push and pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls). Camps combine running, strength and station technique with coaching on pacing and transitions, plus recovery.

What is a HYROX simulation race?

A full or partial run-through of the race format in a gym, timed, so you can test your pacing and station technique before race day. Some of the resorts we list hold simulation races you can join as part of your stay.

Do I need to have raced HYROX before?

No. Camps take first-timers and experienced racers; coaches set your sessions after an initial assessment, so the same week works whether you are preparing for your first race or chasing a personal best.

Can I train as a doubles team?

Yes. Most camps and stays take two people booking together, and you can train the doubles format (shared stations, switching work) with your partner.

How do I book?

Choose a camp or stay, pick your dates and send a request or book directly where it is available. A small deposit secures your place and the host confirms your dates.
