HYROX Fitness Race Coming to Abu Dhabi for the First Time

Abu Dhabi is gearing up to host one of the world’s biggest indoor fitness events, as HYROX makes its debut in the capital this summer. The highly anticipated race will take place on Saturday July 19 at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) during Abu Dhabi Summer Sports (ADSS).

The event promises an adrenaline-fuelled challenge, combining endurance, strength and competition across a unique format. Participants will complete eight one-kilometre runs, each followed by a demanding workout station such as sled pushes, burpee broad jumps, and rowing.

Open to all fitness levels, HYROX offers solo races, doubles events for male, female or mixed teams, and a relay race for teams of four. A Pro Division will also be available for elite athletes, while an Adaptive Division will ensure accessibility for competitors with physical disabilities.

Organised by Abu Dhabi Sports Council in collaboration with HYROX and Project 206, the event highlights the growing demand for functional fitness competitions across the region. Registration is now open, with entry starting from Dhs312.
