Built backwards from race day
Eight stations, eight 1-km runs. Sled push and pull with explicit progression, wall balls scaled to your bodyweight, run intervals that match the race.
[ Redruth · South West ]
There are 12 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Redruth, and this programme is written around whichever one you use. Your nearest race is Principality Stadium, roughly 199 km away, and every session is dated backwards from it. Built by HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland. See your Week 1 before you decide anything.

Your programme counts back from Cardiff. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles with his brother Harry. The programming you follow is the structure he uses, scaled to your level.

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.

Your nearest race
Principality Stadium
Cardiff · May 2027
Roughly 199 km from Redruth 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Redruth to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.
[ Gyms in Redruth ]
Redruth 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.

[ Training in Redruth ]
12 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Redruth. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Kernow Gym, Carn Brea Leisure Centre and BorneFit, the nearest of them about 2.9 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.
Carn Brea Leisure Centre and Sports Hall 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.
Heartlands parkrun, roughly 3.5 km from the centre of Redruth, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
They spread from roughly 4 km out to 10 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Principality Stadium is the nearest venue at roughly 199 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.
With the race that far out, the 2 parkruns nearby do more work than usual — it is the only regular measured effort you will get without a train ticket, so it carries the whole benchmarking job.
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.
