Your nearest race
a venue still to be announced
Ottawa · April 2027
The race comes to Ottawa. That means you can walk the venue beforehand, and it means the people you train beside will be on the same start list. A programme dated to that weekend is worth more than a generic twelve weeks.
Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.

Ottawa 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.
Chains with a site here: GoodLife Fitness, Anytime Fitness, Planet Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Ottawa. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Uprise Fit, Elgin Fitness and Boss Fitness Studio, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.
GoodLife Fitness, Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness have sites 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 Ottawa, 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.
