Can I do HYROX training without being a strong runner?

Yes, but you'll plateau quickly if running stays an afterthought. Build a 6-week aerobic base with easy Zone 2 runs first, then add race-pace work. Our run club is built for athletes at every starting point, with dedicated pace groups.

What are the best running routes near CrossFit BC?

False Creek Seawall (9km loop, flat, kilometre-marked) and Stanley Park Seawall (10km) are our top picks for long runs. For intervals, use Hinge Park track or measured 1km stretches in the Mount Pleasant grid right outside the gym.
