About the event

HYROX Milan, a highlight of season 7, turns the Lombard capital into a temple of hybrid performance. In a modern setting blending Italian design and elite sports, this event draws top European athletes for two intense days on October 19-20, 2024. Milan embodies Italian style applied to fitness, with a chic and precise atmosphere that captivates competitors and spectators alike. The course layout proved demanding, with few athletes beating personal records, as shown by slower median times. In the men's pro division, [[Alen Ploj]] wins in 1:00:05, ahead of [[Afan Humphries]] and [[Roberto Viciedo Gimeno]]. [[Sinéad Bent]] dominates the women's pros in 1:09:11. James George and [[Gloria Corbetta]] triumph in the open categories. With 65 slots for the World Championships and over 7000 athletes, Milan leaves its mark with elegance and sporting passion.

Beyond HYROX Milan, explore the host city's riches. Admire the Duomo, a Gothic masterpiece towering over Piazza del Duomo, or stroll through Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a shopping gallery with sumptuous mosaics. The Sforzesco Castle offers a journey into Milanese history with its Renaissance courtyards and museums. Art lovers must see Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper in the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent. Walk along the Navigli canals, picturesque waterways lined with lively cafes, perfect for sunset aperitifs. For leisure, rent a bike to cruise parks like Sempione or head to the Brera district for its galleries and bohemian vibe. On the culinary side, savor saffron risotto alla milanese, braised ossobuco, or crispy cotoletta alla milanese veal cutlet. Pair with panettone for a typical sweet touch, ideal for recharging participants and spectators.
