HYROX Tenerife set for September 4–6

HYROX Tenerife will run from September 4 to 6 at the International Trade Fair and Congress Centre in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, according to event listings from Tenerife tourism and HYROX. The race is billed as the first Canary Islands edition and as the opener of HYROX's 2026/27 global season. Organizers say more than 10,000 athletes from over 100 countries are expected. The event uses HYROX's standard format: an 8-kilometer run broken up by eight functional workout stations. ### Where exactly is this race happening? The International Trade Fair and Congress Centre is the named venue for the three-day event, with the address listed on Tenerife's event page in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Tenerife Convention Bureau says the complex is in the island's capital and spans more than 40,000 square meters. The venue, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, includes a main hall of 12,000 square meters and a second open-plan space of 3,800 square meters.

The company's race-finder says HYROX events are designed around running and functional workouts for different fitness levels, and the Tenerife event page repeats that the race follows the signature format used across the series. Tenerife's tourism listing also calls HYROX the world's largest fitness competition. (webtenerife.co.uk) ### Why is Tenerife a notable stop on the calendar? HYROX said Tenerife marks "a brand-new chapter" in its race calendar and launches the 26/27 season. Tenerife tourism said it will be the first time HYROX stages an event in the Canary Islands, while a corporate post from Tenerife tourism said it is also the first time the company has organized an event on an island in Spain. HYROX's own event page says the Canary Islands will host the race "for the first time ever." (webtenerife.co.uk) ### How big do organizers expect this event to be? Tenerife tourism said the event is expected to draw more than 10,000 athletes from more than 100 countries. A July corporate post from Tenerife tourism said the race would strengthen Tenerife's positioning as an international sports destination, attributing that assessment to the island's tourism authorities. The public event listing repeats the same participation estimate ahead of the September 4 start. (hyrox.com) ### How does Tenerife fit with the next HYROX dates?
