HYROX Valencia scheduled for Oct. 16-18

HYROX Valencia has been added to organizers’ event listings for October 16-18, 2026, with the race scheduled at Feria Valencia, according to HYROX’s event page and a May 19 preview published by Visit Valencia. The listings put the Spanish stop on the calendar more than a year ahead of race weekend. Visit Valencia said the event will run across three days at the exhibition venue on the city’s outskirts. HYROX’s own event page lists the same dates for Valencia. ### When is the Valencia race, and where will it be held? October 16-18, 2026 are the dates listed for HYROX Valencia on both the official HYROX event page and Visit Valencia’s events site. The venue is Feria Valencia, a large exhibition complex that regularly hosts trade fairs and sports events, according to the tourism listing. (visitvalencia.com) May 19 is when Visit Valencia’s preview appeared, based on the story context provided and the current listing now visible on the site. HYROX’s page describes Valencia as part of its race calendar for the 2026 season. ### What exactly is HYROX asking athletes to do? HYROX uses a fixed race format built around eight 1-kilometer runs and eight functional workout stations, according to Visit Valencia and HYROX Spain. (visitvalencia.com) Visit Valencia says each challenge consists of a 1 km run followed by an exercise, repeated eight times. HYROX Spain describes the same structure and says the standardized format supports a global leaderboard across events. Large indoor venues are part of the model as well, according to HYROX Spain, which says all global races are staged in major indoor halls. That aligns with the choice of Feria Valencia for the 2026 event. ### Is this a return to Valencia or a first-time stop? Visit Valencia previously hosted HYROX on March 8-9, 2025 at Feria Valencia, according to an earlier event page still indexed on the tourism site. (visitvalencia.com) The new October 2026 listing therefore points to a return engagement rather than a first appearance in the city. (spain.hyrox.com) HYROX’s current Valencia page presents the 2026 edition as part of its upcoming event lineup. A separate HYROX listing also shows “HYROX Youngstars Valencia” on October 17-18, 2026, indicating youth programming is planned on the same weekend. ### What race options are tied to the Valencia weekend? Visit Valencia’s German-language listing says athletes can enter in individual, individual pro, doubles or relay formats. (visitvalencia.com) That page uses the same October 16-18, 2026 dates and Feria Valencia location as the English listing. (hyrox.com) October 17-18, 2026 are also the dates listed for HYROX Youngstars Valencia, a youth event for athletes ages 8 to 15, according to HYROX. That suggests the Valencia weekend will include both the main race program and an age-group event. ### How does Valencia fit into HYROX’s wider expansion? November 12-15, 2026 are the dates cited for HYROX Denver’s debut in a training guide published by Denver gym Colfax Strong. (visitvalencia.com) The guide says Denver will host the series for the first time at the Stockyards Event Center and names Salt Lake City, Tampa and Nashville as other new fall markets. (hyrox.com) HYROX’s “Find my Race” page lists competitions across multiple cities and countries, underscoring the company’s expanding event network. Valencia’s addition for mid-October places it ahead of the newly announced Denver stop in November. October 16 is the next key date for this story, when HYROX Valencia is scheduled to begin at Feria Valencia. (colfaxstrong.com) Registration and event details are available through HYROX’s Valencia page, while Visit Valencia is carrying the local event listing. (hyrox.com 1) (hyrox.com 2)
