Hyrox training in Delaware,
built around your race.
There are 48 named gyms and sports centres across Wilmington, Dover and Newark, Anytime Fitness and Stretch Zone among them, and the programme is written around whichever one you use. There is no HYROX in Delaware yet. The nearest is Washington D.C., roughly 158 km from Wilmington in a straight line, and the programme is dated backwards from whichever race you enter. Built by HYROX Elite 15 athlete Ben Sutherland. See your Week 1 before you decide anything.

Washington D.C.
3 September 2026 · 158 km from Wilmington
Straight-line distance, so the drive is longer. Far enough that a race is a weekend rather than a morning, which changes the taper more than it changes the training — you want to arrive with a day in hand rather than racing off a flight.

What 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. These are the named sites in the state's largest metros.

[ Racing out of Delaware ]
Every race is a trip from Delaware, so the calendar matters as much as the training. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and give yourself a day on the ground before you race rather than arriving off a flight.
The eight stations are identical worldwide — same order, same distances, same loads by division. What differs between venues is floor surface, laps per kilometre and how long the Roxzone runs, which is why comparing your time to a friend's from another city is not comparing like with like.
