About the event

HYROX Leipzig 2021 marks a historic moment as the Season 4 World Championship, the first full in-person format after pandemic-forced virtual and treadmill editions. Held in Leipzig, Germany, this event gathers 332 athletes across 7 divisions, from elites to pros, for an intense race over two laps with iconic stations like sled push-pull. It stands out with its electric atmosphere, mass starts reminiscent of OCRs, and attractive prize money up to $10,000 for men's and women's podiums. The industrial city of Leipzig, with its vast halls, provides the perfect setting for this epic battle where stars like [[Tim Schroeder]], the 2019 on-site winner, and [[Alex Roncevic]] aim for glory. Memorable moments guaranteed with tight duels and a roaring crowd.

Alongside HYROX Leipzig, explore vibrant Leipzig, birthplace of the New Objectivity with historic sites like St. Thomas Church where Bach led his choirs, or the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, an imposing testament to Prussian past. Stroll Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse district, buzzing with street art and contemporary galleries, or visit Leipzig Zoo, one of Europe's most modern with its giant pandas. For leisure, rent a bike to ride along the Elster River, or catch a concert in Connewitz's underground clubs. For food, savor grilled Thüringer Rostbratwurst sausage with sauerkraut, or Leipziger Allerlei, a spring vegetable stew. Athletes will love the breweries for a refreshing Gose, the local sour beer with coriander, perfect for debriefing post-competition.
