HYROX Valencia set for Oct 16–18, 2026

HYROX Valencia is now on the 2026 race calendar, with official event listings showing the competition will run from October 16 to October 18 at Feria Valencia. Visit Valencia’s event page and HYROX’s own event listing both carry the dates and venue, placing the race in one of Spain’s largest event spaces more than a year ahead of the weekend itself. (visitvalencia.com) That matters because HYROX is not listing Valencia as a one-day stop. (visitvalencia.com) The event is scheduled across three days, and organizer pages already point athletes to registration and ticketing channels, a sign that the weekend is being sold as a full participation event rather than a simple local fitness meet. (hyrox.com) ### What exactly is being staged in Valencia? Visit Valencia describes HYROX Valencia as a competition that combines running and functional workout stations in a fixed race format. The tourism body says each challenge consists of a 1 kilometer run followed by an exercise, repeated eight times across the course. (visitvalencia.com) HYROX’s event page uses broader promotional language but points to the same structure: race-day competition built around running and workouts in a standardized format. That format is central to HYROX’s model, because it lets the company stage the same style of event across multiple cities while keeping times and categories comparable. (hyrox.com) That last point is an inference based on HYROX’s standardized race listings and category structure. ### Which race categories are listed? Visit Valencia says entrants can compete as an individual, in Individual Pro, as a pair, or in a relay. Those categories indicate the Valencia stop is aimed at a broad field, from solo racers to team-based entrants. (visitvalencia.com) A separate HYROX listing also shows a “HYROX Youngstars Valencia” event for athletes aged 8 to 15 on October 17 and 18, 2026. That suggests the Valencia weekend will include youth programming alongside the main adult event schedule. ### Why is Feria Valencia the notable venue detail? (hyrox.com) Feria Valencia is the named host site on both city and organizer listings. For HYROX, which stages indoor fitness races that combine repeated running segments with equipment-based workout stations, a large exhibition venue fits the event’s operational needs, though the organizers did not publish a floor plan in the materials reviewed. (visitvalencia.com) The Valencia listing also places the event in the city’s “outskirts” tourism area, according to Visit Valencia’s classification. That gives participants an early indication that the race is tied to a major venue complex rather than a city-center road course. (hyrox.com) ### Are tickets and registration already open? HYROX’s event page directs users to register, and a Spain-based HYROX ticketing page on Vivenu lists “HYROX Valencia | Season 26/27” for October 16 to 18, 2026. The ticketing page says the city will host athletes ranging from first-timers to pro competitors. (visitvalencia.com) HYROX’s support site also lists Valencia in its Spain event menu for the 2026-27 season, alongside Tenerife and Barcelona dates. That places Valencia inside the company’s published Spain schedule rather than as a standalone one-off announcement. ### What comes next before race weekend? October 16, 2026 is the scheduled opening date for HYROX Valencia, according to the official event pages. (visitvalencia.com) Before then, athletes can use HYROX’s registration pathway and the Spain ticketing page, while families looking at the youth division can find the separate Youngstars Valencia listing for October 17-18.
