Roughly 193 km from Dingwall 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 Dingwall.
Dingwall 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 Dingwall.
Where to train in Dingwall
Training options in Dingwall 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.
Dingwall Leisure Centre is the closest, roughly 0.7 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.
Dingwall 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.
High Life Highland 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 Dingwall
There is no parkrun close to Dingwall, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
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 Dingwall
OVO Hydro is the nearest venue at roughly 193 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.
