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.

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

Manchester Central Convention Complex

Manchester · January 2027

Roughly 156 km from Consett 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 Consett to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.

Where you can train in Consett.

Enough choice in Consett 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Consett.

Where to train in Consett

10 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Consett. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have The Gym, Super Snooker and Steel Town Gym, the nearest of them about 0 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.

Super Snooker and Consett Leisure Centre 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.

The Gym 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 Consett

You are well served for measured running around Consett. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Blackhill parkrun, Chopwell Wood parkrun and Oakey Park parkrun are the closest three, Blackhill parkrun being about 0.8 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.

They spread from roughly 1 km out to 9 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.

Racing from Consett

Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 156 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 10 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.
