Your nearest race

Manchester Central

Manchester · expected April 2027

Roughly 65 km from Upton in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Straight-line distance from the centre of Upton to the venue. The date follows the venue's annual cadence rather than a confirmed listing, so check the official Hyrox calendar before booking.

Where you can train in Upton.

Enough choice in Upton 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.

What training in Upton actually involves.

Where to train in Upton

Upton has 6 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.

Closest to the centre you have Minsthorpe Lesiure, Elite Gym and Hemsworth Rugby Union FC, the nearest of them about 1.7 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.

Minsthorpe Lesiure and Hemsworth Rugby Union FC 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.

Where to run around Upton

You are well served for measured running around Upton. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Frickley Country parkrun, Nostell parkrun and Pontefract parkrun are the closest three, Frickley Country parkrun being about 2.9 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.

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.
