Where to run, near you
Free, measured, timed, every Saturday morning. The simplest way to see whether the programme is working is to run the same 5 km every few weeks and watch the number move.

Your nearest race
ExCeL London
London · expected March 2027
Roughly 142 km from Freshwater 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Freshwater to the venue. The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.
[ Gyms in Freshwater ]
Freshwater 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.

Training options in Freshwater 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.
Fitness Centre is the closest, roughly 0.4 km from the centre. Worth ringing to ask whether there is floor space for a sled and a wall you can throw a ball at, because those two shape the programme more than anything on the price list.
Lymington Woodside parkrun, roughly 7.2 km from the centre of Freshwater, 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.
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.
