Plan your stay

Sydney offers a wide range of accommodations suited to all types of participants, from athletes seeking practicality to companions looking for a more comfortable stay. Options include simple, functional lodgings near major transport routes as well as upscale properties with wellness areas and fitness facilities to support recovery. Neighbourhoods close to event zones and the city centre help minimise travel time and provide quick access to sports facilities, shops and relaxation areas. Visitors can therefore select accommodation that matches their budget, their need for calm before the race and their desire to explore the city.

Race Info

Reaching HYROX Sydney is made easier by an efficient transport network linking the international airport, the city centre and main districts. Participants are advised to arrive well in advance to adjust to the time zone, recover from travel and scout locations to anticipate journey times on race day. On site, public transport systems and urban mobility options allow easy movement between accommodation, the competition venue and areas for dining or recovery. Allowing extra time for travel, planning meals ahead and staying well hydrated all contribute to better preparation and a smoother event experience.
