How to Get There +
The Johannesburg Expo Centre is located at Nasrec Road, Corner Rand Show Road. The nearest major airport is O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), approximately a 45-minute to 1-hour drive depending on traffic. Public transport options to the venue can be complex; it is often more convenient to utilize taxi services or ride-sharing apps like Uber or Bolt, which are readily available throughout Johannesburg and can take you directly to the Expo Centre. Limited parking may be available at the venue, but it's advisable to check official HYROX event information for specifics.
City Guide: Johannesburg +
Expected weather in November: 15-27°C (59-81°F), 50-60% humidity
For athletes competing in Johannesburg, proximity to the Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec is key. Consider staying in areas like Crown Gardens or Mondeor, which offer a balance of accessibility and local amenities. These neighborhoods provide a good base for early mornings and post-race recovery.
When it comes to dining, explore the diverse culinary scene. Local eateries in the south of Johannesburg often serve hearty South African fare, perfect for fueling up before or after a tough race. Look for traditional braai (barbecue) spots or cafes offering breakfasts and light lunches. For a wider range of international cuisine, the nearby areas offer various options to satisfy any craving.

What your training plan covers
A HYROX 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 HYROX race. We build your aerobic base and pacing strategy so you can hold a strong pace across all 8 km of running.
Functional Station Training
Targeted strength and conditioning for the 8 HYROX stations. Sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls, and SkiErg.
Compromised Running
The true separator in HYROX. 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 HYROX, not adapted from generic CrossFit templates."
