Rio de Janeiro hosts a race, which changes how you train for it.

HYROX Rio de Janeiro: dates, venue and when to start

Your nearest race

Av. Salvador Allende

Rio de Janeiro · November 2026

The race comes to Rio de Janeiro. 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.

Where you can train in Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro 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: Smart Fit. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Rio de Janeiro actually involves.

Where to train in Rio de Janeiro

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Rio de Janeiro. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have Body Move, Club Municipal and Smart Fit, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.

Club Municipal and Clube Monte Sinai 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.

Smart Fit 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 Rio de Janeiro

There is no parkrun close to Rio de Janeiro, 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.
