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

The ground you actually train on in Edinburgh.
Edinburgh sits an hour from Glasgow's OVO Hydro race weekend, with a growing local Hyrox club scene across Leith, Newington, and the West End. Edinburgh Leisure venues now offer Hyrox-pattern classes at multiple sites.
Your nearest race: HYROX Glasgow →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.

- Portobello parkrun, Edinburgh · Figgate Park4.1 km

Scottish Event Campus (SEC)
Glasgow · March 2027
Roughly 69 km from Edinburgh in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Edinburgh.
Edinburgh has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Edinburgh.
Where to train in Edinburgh
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Edinburgh. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have The Yoga Room, Central Studio and Gathering Essence, the nearest of them about 0.5 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.
Ashtanga Yoga and University of Edinburgh Sports 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.
Where to run around Edinburgh
You are well served for measured running around Edinburgh. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Holyrood parkrun, Portobello parkrun, Edinburgh and Edinburgh parkrun are the closest three, Holyrood parkrun being about 1.6 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 2 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 Edinburgh
Your nearest race is Scottish Event Campus (SEC), about 69 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 20 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.
[ Near Edinburgh ]
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.
