HYROX has announced that it will go to Cardiff in Wales for the very first time! The event will be held at the Principality Stadium from May 30th – June 1st 2025.
The growth of HYROX in the UK in particular has been huge, with events selling out extremely quickly. There had been calls for another UK event, so this is a very exciting announcement!
As the race is so close to the 2025 World Championship, HYROX has announced that anyone finishing in a World Championship qualifying spot at this race can decide whether they want to race in this year’s World Championship in Chicago (12-15 June 2025), or carry their qualifying spot forward to the 2026 World Championship.
Tickets will go on sale on Thursday 27th March with two staggered ticket drops (12pm and 5pm), giving you two equal opportunities to secure your race spot.Â
