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.

Your nearest race: HYROX Manchester →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.

Where you can train in Littleborough.
Littleborough 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: PureGym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Littleborough.
Where to train in Littleborough
12 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Littleborough. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Hollingworth Lake Rowing Club, Littleborough RUFC and Littleborough Sports Club, the nearest of them about 1.4 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.
Hollingworth Lake Rowing Club and Littleborough RUFC 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.
PureGym 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 Littleborough
Watergrove parkrun, Rochdale, roughly 2.8 km from the centre of Littleborough, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
They spread from roughly 3 km out to 8 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Racing from Littleborough
Manchester Central Convention Complex is roughly 21 km from Littleborough, close enough to be a normal morning rather than a trip. That is the one to build towards for a first race: no hotel, no unfamiliar bed, no early train.
Between the race and the 12 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.
