WānakaHYROX Simulation
Not an official HYROX race — a full simulation of one, across two race days in Wānaka. The same eight stations in the same order, the same weights, the same eight kilometres of running. For anyone training towards an official race, and for anyone who just wants to find out how they'd go.
Race weekend
5 & 6 December 2026
Entries open
Friday 28 August

In collaboration with
CrossFit Wānaka
HYROX affiliate gym
Our partners on the ground in Wānaka — and, as it happens, a few doors up the road from the start line.
What's coming
Eight runs. Eight stations.
Run 1 km. Hit a station. Run another kilometre. Hit the next one. Repeat until all eight stations are behind you, then run the last kilometre to the finish.
Individual or doubles, Open weights, every HYROX age grade, and a full adaptive division. Nothing here counts towards official rankings or qualification — what you get is the format, honestly judged, close to home. No time limit. Everyone finishes.
