The HYROX community is getting more global. The functional fitness racing circuit features the same race at every event it holds worldwide — eight exercise stations interspersed with one-kilometer runs that athletes repeat eight times in the fastest time possible.
After launching in Germany in 2017, HYROX will finally reach the Great White North. The 2024 HYROX Toronto contest on Oct. 5, 2024, at the Enercare Centre will be HYROX’s first foray into Canada.
