Home › Retreats › HYROX Race Preparation Camp in Fuerteventura with Pro Coach Hugo Hugemark
Spain · 5 days
The camp is led by Hugo Hugemark, a Playitas ambassador and experienced HYROX competitor. Hugo's coaching focuses on race execution: how to pace the run legs, how to approach each station with a plan, and how to manage effort so you do not blow up halfway through. Sessions are held in the resort's training areas and include run interval work, station-specific drills, compromised running (running on tired legs after station work), and full or partial race simulations.
Each day mixes practical sessions with classroom-style briefings. You will go through pacing strategies, station technique, transition practice and race-day logistics, so by the end of the week you have a written plan you can take to Tenerife or any other HYROX race later in the season. The volume is managed — this is a preparation camp, not a smash week, so you arrive at your race fresh rather than fried.
Playitas Resort is built for active holidays. There is a 50 m outdoor pool, a gym, group exercise studios, tennis and padel courts, a running track, and direct access to the beach and sea for open-water swims. The resort sits in Las Playitas on Fuerteventura's east coast, about a 45-minute drive from the airport. Outside training hours you can swim, run along the coastal path, or take a short drive to the dunes at Corralejo or the surf beaches on the north shore.
The camp is capped at a small group size, and the schedule is published by the resort before you travel. You book your dates (31 August to 4 September), pick your accommodation and board, then add the HYROX Camp for each participant. If you are travelling with non-training partners, they can book the same dates and use the resort facilities while you train.
