How to Get There +

The nearest major airport to the New York venue is John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), with travel times to Manhattan typically ranging from 45-75 minutes depending on traffic and chosen transport. From JFK, take the AirTrain to connect with subway lines (e.g., E, J, Z) into the city. The nearest subway stop to the venue will be announced, but expect to utilize the extensive MTA subway system for direct access. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available from the airport and throughout the city, offering a convenient but potentially more expensive alternative.

These districts offer a good range of hotels and easy access to public transportation. When it comes to dining, New York is a culinary paradise. Explore the diverse food scene with countless options. For a quick and delicious bite, seek out classic New York pizza joints or explore the vibrant food halls that offer a variety of cuisines under one roof.

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."
