HYROX has set its 2026 World Championships for June 18-21 in Stockholm, according to the fitness-racing organizer's event page. The company said the competition will be held at Strawberry Arena and will bring together qualified athletes from the 2025/26 season. Mexican newspaper Milenio reported on May 21 that Roberto Aguilar Durán and Naomi Sifuentes are preparing to represent Mexico and the Comarca Lagunera region at the event. HYROX says only the top 0.5% of its athletes qualify for the world championship field. ### When and where is the championship taking place? Stockholm, Sweden, is listed by HYROX as the host city for the 2026 World Championships from June 18 through June 21. The official event page says the races will take place at Strawberry Arena, and a separate HYROX championships page repeats the same dates and location. HYROX's support page also identifies the event as "PUMA HYROX World Championships Stockholm 2026." (hyrox.com) ### Who are the athletes named in the Mexico report? Roberto Aguilar Durán and Naomi Sifuentes were identified by Milenio as the athletes preparing to compete in Stockholm. The report said they will represent both Mexico and the Comarca Lagunera region. Milenio also said the two qualified in Guadalajara and are now in final preparations ahead of the June event.

HYROX describes its format as eight 1-kilometer runs, each followed by one functional workout station, for a total of 8 kilometers of running and eight stations. The company's race explainer says that structure is the same across its events globally. HYROX's season rulebook lists the stations as SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jump, rowing, kettlebell farmer's carry, sandbag lunge and wall balls.

The championships page says some late-season races leave athletes only two to three weeks to make arrangements before Stockholm, and the singles rulebook sets out qualification routes for individuals, doubles and elite competitors. Event pages for regular HYROX races also note that some age-group results can earn qualification slots for the world championships.

HYROX says more than 1,000,000 athletes worldwide are racing during the 2025/26 season, with the Stockholm championship reserved for the top 0.5%. The championships page also places Stockholm in the event's recent sequence after Nice in 2024 and Chicago in 2025. That gives the June race a defined place on HYROX's annual calendar rather than as a standalone invitational. (hyrox.com) ### What happens next before June 18? June 18 is the opening day listed by HYROX for the Stockholm championship, and the organizer's pages indicate the event will run through June 21. Milenio said Aguilar Durán and Sifuentes are in preparation for that trip, while HYROX's qualification materials show that late-season races can still feed into the championship field. The official event and championships pages are the main public references for schedule and venue details ahead of the start. (hyrox.com)
