Roughly 160 km from Carrickfergus 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 Carrickfergus.
Enough choice in Carrickfergus 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: YMCA. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Carrickfergus actually involves.
Where to train in Carrickfergus
10 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Carrickfergus. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Carrickfergus Bowling Club, Amphitheatre Wellness Centre and YMCA, 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.
Carrickfergus Bowling Club and YMCA 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.
YMCA 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 Carrickfergus
You are well served for measured running around Carrickfergus. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Carrickfergus parkrun, Crawfordsburn Country parkrun and Valley parkrun, Newtownabbey are the closest three, Carrickfergus parkrun being about 0.4 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.
