Birmingham · October 2026

Roughly 120 km from Blaenavon 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.

Where you can train in Blaenavon.

Blaenavon is not spoilt for choice, which matters less than it sounds. Six of the eight stations need a sled, a rower, a ski erg, kettlebells and a wall, and most of that substitutes cleanly. Your programme is built around what you can actually get to.

What training in Blaenavon actually involves.

Where to train in Blaenavon

Training options in Blaenavon are thin on the ground, which matters far less than it sounds. Most of a Hyrox build is running, carrying and squatting, and almost all of it substitutes.

Closest to the centre you have Bowden Active Living Centre and Pontypool Amateur Boxing Club, the nearest of them about 7.2 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.

Pontypool Amateur Boxing Club is listed as a sports centre rather than a gym. 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 Blaenavon

You are well served for measured running around Blaenavon. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Llanfoist Crossing parkrun, Aberbeeg parkrun and Pontypool parkrun are the closest three, Llanfoist Crossing parkrun being about 5.5 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.

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.
