Auckland Showgrounds - 217 Green Lane West
Auckland · February 2027
Roughly 200 km from Kerikeri 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 Kerikeri.
Enough choice in Kerikeri 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 Kerikeri.
Where to train in Kerikeri
11 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Kerikeri. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Community Fitness, Yoga Studio Kerikeri and Kerikeri Community Swimming Pool, the nearest of them about 0.1 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.
Kerikeri Community Swimming Pool and Kerikeri Sports Complex 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.
CrossFit 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 Kerikeri
There is no parkrun close to Kerikeri, 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 Kerikeri
Auckland Showgrounds - 217 Green Lane West is the nearest venue at roughly 200 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.
