NEC Birmingham
Birmingham · October 2026
Roughly 163 km from Brynamman 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.

Where you can train in Brynamman.
Enough choice in Brynamman to find one that suits the training rather than the other way round. Ring ahead and ask about sled space and a wall you are allowed to throw at, because those two decide more than anything on the membership page.
Chains with a site here: Freedom Leisure. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Brynamman.
Where to train in Brynamman
Brynamman has 5 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 Garnant Golf Club Clubhouse, Palleg Golf Course and Cwmtwrch AFC, the nearest of them about 2.6 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.
Garnant Golf Club Clubhouse and Palleg Golf Course are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.
Freedom Leisure has a site here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.
Where to run around Brynamman
Brynaman parkrun, roughly 1 km from the centre of Brynamman, 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 Brynamman
NEC Birmingham is the nearest venue at roughly 163 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
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.

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.
