About the event

HYROX Birmingham, held on October 15, 2022, at the NEC in Birmingham, marked a historic milestone as HYROX's largest event to date with over 4500 participating athletes. This Season 5 highlight took place in the expansive Hall 3, featuring a wide, smooth running course, an innovative spectator bridge, and numbered stations for an immersive experience. The electrifying atmosphere, amplified by a gladiator-arena-style entry tunnel, built palpable tension before each start. Exceptional competition standards were achieved, with numerous age-group world records and blistering pro times, dominated by elites in the men's category. Flawless logistics over more than 12 hours, starting with 6:15 AM check-ins, delighted athletes and spectators alike, making this a memorable moment in the HYROX UK circuit.
