Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Manchester. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

[ Gyms in Askern ]
Where you can train in Askern.
Askern 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Askern.
Where to train in Askern
Training options in Askern are thin on the ground, which matters far less than it sounds. Most of a Hyrox build is running, carrying and squatting, and almost all of it substitutes.
Adwick Leisure Centre is the closest, roughly 6.3 km from the centre. Worth ringing to ask whether there is floor space for a sled and a wall you can throw a ball at, because those two shape the programme more than anything on the price list.
Adwick 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.
Where to run around Askern
You are well served for measured running around Askern. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Sandall Park parkrun, Frickley Country parkrun and Cusworth Hall parkrun are the closest three, Sandall Park parkrun being about 8.9 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
All of them sit within about 10 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Askern
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 74 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 1 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.
