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.

Manchester Central Convention Complex
Manchester · January 2027
Roughly 155 km from Sacriston 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 Sacriston ]
Where you can train in Sacriston.
Sacriston 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.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Sacriston.
Where to train in Sacriston
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Sacriston. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Gym 24 Sacriston, Moor Park and Heathlands Ladies Fitness Club, 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.
Moor Park and Abbey 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.
Where to run around Sacriston
You are well served for measured running around Sacriston. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Ushaw Historic House parkrun, Riverside parkrun and Durham parkrun are the closest three, Ushaw Historic House parkrun being about 4 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
All of them sit within about 8 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Sacriston
Your nearest race is Manchester Central Convention Complex, about 155 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 20 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.
