Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Johannesburg. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Johannesburg Expo Centre
Johannesburg · November 2026
Roughly 1224 km from Stellenbosch in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Stellenbosch.
Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch.
Where to train in Stellenbosch
15 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Stellenbosch. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Old Mutual Sport Centre, Virgin Active and Naude's Gym, the nearest of them about 0.5 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.
Old Mutual Sport Centre and Coetzenburg 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 Stellenbosch
There is no parkrun close to Stellenbosch, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
Racing from Stellenbosch
Johannesburg Expo Centre is the nearest venue at roughly 1224 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.
Between the race and the 15 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.
