NEC Birmingham
Birmingham · October 2026
Roughly 127 km from Brecon 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.

[ Gyms in Brecon ]
Where you can train in Brecon.
Brecon 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 Brecon.
Where to train in Brecon
Training options in Brecon 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.
Brecon Leisure Centre is the closest, roughly 1 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.
Brecon 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 Brecon
Y Promenâd parkrun, Aberhonddu, roughly 1 km from the centre of Brecon, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
Racing from Brecon
Your nearest race is NEC Birmingham, about 127 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.
Whichever race you enter, the date is what makes a programme a programme. Twelve weeks is the standard build, sixteen if you are starting from very little running, and every session lands on a calendar day rather than a week number.
