Programming with a race at the end of it.
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.
An Elite 15 athlete behind the programming
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.

Manchester Central Convention Complex
Manchester · January 2027
Roughly 84 km from Rhyl 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 Rhyl.
Rhyl 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 Rhyl.
Where to train in Rhyl
17 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Rhyl. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Powerhouse Gym, Live Life Light Gym and Marsh Tracks, the nearest of them about 0.2 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.
Marsh Tracks and Rhyl Leisure 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.
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 Rhyl
Nova Prestatyn parkrun, roughly 5.8 km from the centre of Rhyl, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Rhyl
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 84 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 17 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.
