Built backwards from race day
Eight stations, eight 1-km runs. Sled push and pull with explicit progression, wall balls scaled to your bodyweight, run intervals that match the race.
[ Antrim · Northern Ireland ]
There are 4 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Antrim, and this programme is written around whichever one you use. Your nearest race is Royal Dublin Society (RDS), roughly 155 km away, and every session is dated backwards from it. Built by HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland. See your Week 1 before you decide anything.

Your programme counts back from Dublin. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles with his brother Harry. The programming you follow is the structure he uses, scaled to your level.
Where to run your 1 km repeats
A Hyrox is eight 1 km runs with a station between each. Running them on flat, measured, repeatable ground is worth more than any single session you will do indoors. These are the closest measured 5 km courses to you.

Your nearest race
Royal Dublin Society (RDS)
Dublin · November 2026
Roughly 155 km from Antrim in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Antrim to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.
[ Gyms in Antrim ]
Antrim is not spoilt for choice, which matters less than it sounds. Six of the eight stations need a sled, a rower, a ski erg, kettlebells and a wall, and most of that substitutes cleanly. Your programme is built around what you can actually get to.

[ Training in Antrim ]
Antrim has 4 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Antrim Forum Leisure Centre, Evolve Health and Performance and Transform Gym, the nearest of them about 1 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.
Antrim Forum Leisure Centre is listed as a sports centre rather than a gym. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.
Antrim parkrun, roughly 1.8 km from the centre of Antrim, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Your nearest race is Royal Dublin Society (RDS), about 155 km away. Far enough that an early wave means going the night before, which is worth budgeting for at the point you enter rather than the week before.
Between the race and the 4 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.
Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
