HYROX Birmingham 2026: Date, Standards & How to Train
OCT 27 – NOV 1 2026
Race weekends run in waves across the dates, with divisions spread over the days — your exact start time comes with your entry. The format is the same everywhere: 8 × 1km runs, 8 stations, in a fixed order.
This is an independent reference page — RoxDuo is not the organizer. Registration and venue details live on hyrox.com; what you'll find here is what actually decides your race: the weights on the floor and how to train for them.

Training for Birmingham? A 12-week plan counts down to your race day
The athletes who have a good day in Birmingham are the ones who trained backwards from October 27: a build block, a peak, and a taper that lands you fresh on the start line — not the ones who did twelve random hard weeks. RoxDuo builds that plan for you, adapts it as you log station PBs, and if you're racing doubles, the Team Sheet settles who takes which station before you're standing at the sled arguing about it.
