Race weekend
December 17 to 20, 2026
Heats run across all three days.
Venue
Vancouver Convention Centre West
1055 Canada Place, 10 minutes from our gym.
The format
8km of running, 8 stations
A 1km run before every station, same course worldwide.
Divisions
Open, Pro, Doubles, Relay
Plus Adaptive divisions and age-group rankings.
Entries
Pick your division, then book your heat
Four ways to race the same course. If you are unsure which one fits, message a coach in-app and we will help you choose based on your running, your sled strength, and whether you have a partner.
Open
Solo race, standard weights. The division most first-timers pick.
Right for you if: Your first HYROX, or you want a strong finish without Pro loads.
Pro
Solo race, heavier sled, carry, lunge, and wall ball loads.
Right for you if: Experienced racers chasing rankings and qualifiers.
Doubles
Teams of two run every kilometre together and share each station.
Right for you if: You want to race with a partner and split the work.
Relay
Teams of four. Each athlete runs 2km and takes 2 stations.
Right for you if: First event for a crew, or a team-building day out.
Ticket pricing
HYROX prices entries by release tier
Prices step up as each tier sells through, so the earliest release is always the cheapest way in. Doubles and Relay are priced per team, and spectator tickets are sold separately closer to race weekend. The official Vancouver page always shows the live price and remaining heat times.
See live pricing and bookThe workouts
8 runs, 8 stations, the same everywhere
HYROX never changes the course. You run 1km, complete a station, and repeat until the wall balls send you to the finish. Here is the full running order with Open weights. Pro divisions run the same stations with heavier loads.

What HYROX training costs here
Clear numbers, no packages to decode. Class packs never expire early, they run for the validity window below, and every class is coached.
Member perk
Members get first dibs on HYROX tickets, worldwide
CrossFit BC is an authorized HYROX Training Club, so active members and active HYROX class-pack holders get early access to HYROX ticket pre-sales for races all over the world, from Vancouver and Toronto to Chicago, London, and Berlin. Popular races sell out, so this is your head start: pick your city, lock your division, and go chase it with people who train alongside you. We email the code the moment HYROX opens each window.

Your "what to do next" playbook
HYROX reserves a large chunk of inventory for the Public Sale, and more tickets typically release closer to race day. You still have real options for December 17 to 20, 2026, here is the game plan.
Read the public sale game plan01. Join the official HYROX waitlist
If your division shows sold out, add your email to the athlete notification list on the official HYROX Vancouver page. HYROX notifies this list first when extra tickets or capacity changes are released.
02. Line up for the Public Sale, July 23, 12 PM PDT
Log in 20 to 30 minutes early to place higher in the digital queue. Pre-fill your account and payment info so checkout is one click. Racing Doubles or Relay? Have your partner buy on a separate device at the exact same time.
03. Grab a Charity Ticket
When standard athlete tickets vanish on public sale day, Charity Tickets usually last longer. They require a fundraising commitment, but they guarantee entry.
04. Volunteer for priority + a free future entry
HYROX runs on volunteers. Work a shift at Vancouver and you earn priority ticket access plus a complimentary entry voucher for a future HYROX Canada race.
05. Check back around 30 days before race day
HYROX Flex ticket transfers and last-minute cancellations reliably release a fresh wave of tickets roughly 30 days out. Keep training, keep watching the official page in mid-November.
Keep training while you wait
Tickets favour the ready. Lock in your race prep so when a spot opens, you are already dialed.
From the coaching team
Why Vancouver, why now
“First HYROX on home soil in 18 years of coaching this city. If you race one this season, race Vancouver.”
Dai Manuel
Co-owner, CrossFit BC
“December is the sweet spot. Long enough to actually build a running engine, close enough to stay hungry. The room we'll have in Vancouver is going to be loud.”
CFBC HYROX Coaching Team
Race prep + SIM-ilar sessions
“You don't need to be fast, you need to be prepared. Ten minutes from the Convention Centre, we've got the sleds, the wall balls, the runway. Show up.”

What is HYROX?
HYROX is a global fitness race. Every athlete, everywhere in the world, does the exact same workout: 8 x 1 km runs, each one followed by a functional workout station. Same distances, same weights, same order. Your finish time is directly comparable to anyone else's, anywhere.
The format, in order
- 01Run 1 kmSkiErgSkiErg1000 m
- 02Run 1 kmSled PushSled50 m

- 08Run 1 kmWall BallsWall75 / 100 reps
Total: 8 km of running + 8 stations. Most Open athletes finish in 60 to 100 minutes.
Four divisions, same course
Open
Standard weights. Where most first-timers start. If you can run and lift, you can do this.
Pro
Heavier weights (heavier sled, heavier sandbag). For experienced HYROX athletes.
Doubles
Same course, split with a partner. You tag in and out at each station. Way more fun.
Relay
Team of 4. Each person takes 2 of the run + station combos. Great first race with friends.
HYROX Vancouver 2026 runs Dec 17 to 20 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. Members of CrossFit BC (an authorized HYROX Training Club) get 48 hours of early ticket access before it opens to the public.
