ABU DHABI, THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!
The wait is over—HYROX Abu Dhabi is returning to the UAE capital. After months of training and anticipation, athletes from across the region will once again come together to take on the race floor, testing their strength, endurance, and determination alongside a passionate fitness community. Set in the heart of one of the region’s most vibrant cities, this event marks the return of the HYROX community and the energy that defines every race- from the opening station to the final sprint across the finish line. The stage is set, and we look forward to welcoming you back to compete.
We are delighted to feature an exclusive Women’s Only Race Day on Friday, October 23, and kindly share that only female athletes and spectators are welcome on this date.

For the 2026/27 HYROX season, we’ve introduced the Flex Add-On And Flex Lite to give athletes more flexibility and peace of mind in case of unexpected changes. It offers a simple way to request a refund or make changes to your ticket up to 1 day before the race.
