HYROX Valencia set for Oct 16–18

HYROX Valencia is scheduled for October 16-18, 2026, at Feria Valencia, according to event listings published by HYROX and Visit Valencia. The race weekend is set to run across three days in Spain’s eastern coastal city, with organizers describing a program built around running and functional workout stations. The Valencia tourism site says the event will bring “running races and workouts” to Feria Valencia over the weekend, while HYROX’s own event page lists the same dates for its 2026 stop in the city. ### What exactly has been confirmed for Valencia? Visit Valencia lists HYROX Valencia from October 16 to October 18, 2026, at Feria Valencia. The city guide describes the event as a fitness challenge that combines running with exercise routines and says competitors can enter in individual, individual pro, doubles or relay formats. HYROX’s official event page also lists “HYROX Valencia” for October 16-18, 2026. (visitvalencia.com) A separate HYROX support page for Spain includes Valencia in the company’s Season 26/27 calendar, alongside Tenerife in September 2026 and Barcelona in November 2026. ### How does a HYROX race work? Visit Valencia says each challenge consists of a 1-kilometer run followed by an exercise, repeated eight times. HYROX’s broader race format centers on eight runs and eight workout stations, making the Valencia event consistent with the company’s standard competition structure. (visitvalencia.com) The same Visit Valencia listing says the event is open across multiple divisions, including solo racing, the higher-level Individual Pro category, pairs and relay teams. (hyrox.com) That matters for entrants because HYROX events typically draw both first-time participants and experienced racers using the same core format with different competitive categories. ### Is there anything beyond the main adult race weekend? (visitvalencia.com) HYROX’s event listings also show “HYROX Youngstars Valencia” for October 17-18, 2026. The company says that program is designed for athletes aged 8 to 15 and will run during the Valencia weekend as a youth-format extension of the main event. The Spain ticketing page for the event says Valencia will be part of the 26/27 season and describes the weekend as open to “athletes of all levels.” That listing indicates registration infrastructure is in place even as organizers continue publishing event-by-event details.

The tourism listing places the event in the city’s outskirts district and frames the fairground venue as the site for the three-day competition weekend. (hyrox.com) HYROX’s official Valencia page does not contradict that location and uses the city event branding for the same October dates. (spain.hyrox.com) Taken together, the two listings align on city, venue and weekend timing. ### What should competitors watch for next? HYROX’s “Find My Race” page directs users to register for competitions through its event system, and the Valencia-specific event listing is already live. (visitvalencia.com) Visit Valencia’s event page remains the city-side source for venue and tourism-facing details, while HYROX support pages list Valencia as part of the Spain season lineup. October 16, 2026, is the next fixed date in this story. Between now and then, HYROX and Visit Valencia are the named sources carrying Valencia-specific updates on registration, categories, youth programming and any final weekend schedule details.
