ExCeL London
London · expected March 2027
Roughly 114 km from Hedge End 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 Hedge End ]
Where you can train in Hedge End.
Hedge End 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.
Chains with a site here: David Lloyd Clubs, JD Gyms, Everyone Active, Snap Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Hedge End.
Where to train in Hedge End
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Hedge End. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Wildern Leisure Centre, David Lloyd Clubs and Ninja Warrior UK, the nearest of them about 0.7 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.
Wildern Leisure Centre and David Lloyd Clubs 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.
David Lloyd Clubs, JD Gyms and Everyone Active have sites 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 Hedge End
You are well served for measured running around Hedge End. 6 parkrun courses sit within reach: Whiteley parkrun, Itchen Valley Country parkrun and Netley Abbey parkrun are the closest three, Whiteley parkrun being about 4.6 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
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 Hedge End
Your nearest race is ExCeL London, about 114 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.
