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
Manchester Central
Manchester · expected April 2027
Roughly 85 km from Selby 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Selby to the venue. The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.

Where you can train in Selby.
Enough choice in Selby 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.
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 Selby.
Where to train in Selby
Selby has 6 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Summit Indoor Adventure, Selby Leisure Centre and Flaxley Road, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.
Summit Indoor Adventure and Selby 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 Selby
Selby parkrun, roughly 3.5 km from the centre of Selby, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
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 Selby
Your nearest race is Manchester Central, about 85 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.
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.
[ Near Selby ]
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.
