About the event

HYROX Miami, held on February 11, 2023 as part of the Miami Beach Fitness Festival, marked an iconic moment in season 5 of the HYROX circuit in the US. Organized in partnership with the founders of the Miami Marathon and WODapalooza, this event took place on the sands of Miami Beach, turning the race into an extreme challenge with running segments on firm and soft sand under blazing sun nearing 30°C. The functional stations under a large tent added to the difficulty, making median times much longer than usual: 1h51 for open men vs. typical 1h27, and 4min58 for the sled push. Memorable winners include Garrett Mitchell in pro men at 1h20:21, Trish Higgins in pro women at 1h31:54, and Terra Jackson in open women at 1h20:23 after a mixed doubles victory. This edition remains etched as one of the toughest and most festive on the circuit.

Miami, host city of HYROX, offers a paradisiac setting to extend the sports experience. Explore the iconic beaches of Miami Beach, perfect for active recovery in the sun or a paddle session. Dive into the Art Deco architecture of South Beach, with its colorful UNESCO-listed buildings ideal for a cultural stroll post-competition. For leisure, choose a sunset cruise along the coast or a visit to Wynwood district, vibrant street art murals and contemporary art galleries. On the food front, savor typical Cuban-American cuisine: try the crispy Cuban sandwich with marinated pork, spicy empanadas, or fresh mahi-mahi ceviche. Participants will find an energy boost in these flavors, while spectators enjoy fusion food trucks for an authentic, revitalizing local immersion.
