Your nearest race
Auckland Showgrounds - 217 Green Lane West
Auckland · February 2027
Roughly 967 km from Oamaru 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.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Oamaru to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.

Oamaru 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.
Chains with a site here: Snap Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.
Distances are straight-line from the centre of Oamaru. We have not audited what equipment each site holds, so treat this as where to start ringing rather than a verified kit list. Gym data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Training options in Oamaru 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 Fitness 24 and Snap Fitness, the nearest of them about 0.1 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.
Snap Fitness 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.
There is no parkrun close to Oamaru, 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.
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.
Other places we cover in New Zealand. Plenty of people train in the next town over, whether that is a better gym or simply the one on the way home.
