When you arrive in Braga for HYROX 2026, prioritize staying in or around the city center for easy access to the venue and amenities. Neighborhoods like São Vicente and Sé are excellent choices, placing you within walking distance or a short taxi ride from the action. For dining, explore the area around Rua Dom Diogo de Sousa, known for its traditional Portuguese restaurants serving hearty dishes like "Bacalhau à Braga" (codfish Braga style) and "Papas de Sarrabulho." You'll also find numerous "tascas" (traditional taverns) offering local wines and petiscos (Portuguese tapas). Consider exploring the historic Sé district for a mix of authentic eateries and more contemporary cafes, perfect for a pre- or post-race meal.

What your training plan covers
A DEKA race demands more than just running or lifting. Our training plans balance three types of work so you arrive race-ready for every lap and every station.
Pure Running
Running makes up more than 50% of a DEKA race. We build your aerobic base and pacing strategy so you can hold a strong pace across all 10 km of running.
Functional Station Training
Targeted strength and conditioning for the 10 DEKA stations. SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls.
Compromised Running
The true separator in DEKA. We program running intervals on fatigued legs to simulate the demands of running immediately after completing a station.
"I was skeptical about another fitness app, but TrainRox is different. It's built specifically for hybrid racing, not adapted from generic CrossFit templates."
