HYROX schedules Dubai, Athens, Tenerife

HYROX has added more dates to its 2026 race calendar, with Dubai set for November 27-28, Athens for September 5-6 and Tenerife for September 4-6, according to event listings and local coverage. Tenerife organizers say they expect more than 10,000 athletes from more than 100 countries at the race, which they describe as the start of the 2026/27 global season. (whatson.ae) Dubai’s event was announced in local reporting this week, with races scheduled on Friday and Saturday, November 27 and 28. The Dubai addition follows a separate HYROX Abu Dhabi event planned for late October, giving the brand two Gulf stops within about a month as it expands its regional footprint. (whatson.ae) Athens is scheduled for September 5-6 and has been described in event coverage as HYROX’s first race in Greece. Tenerife is listed for September 4-6 at the International Trade Fair and Congress Centre, and organizers say the Canary Islands event will make Tenerife the first island in Europe to host a HYROX race. (webtenerife.co.uk) The Tenerife numbers are the clearest sign of scale in the latest rollout. Organizers say more than 10,000 athletes from over 100 countries are expected, making it one of the larger participation figures attached to the new dates now being promoted. (webtenerife.co.uk) The expansion comes as HYROX also faces participant complaints in India. A report on the recent New Delhi race said competitors raised concerns about judging, penalties and event organization, even as the company continues adding stops and prepares for a Mumbai event later in September. (matchaknob.com) Taken together, the latest schedule shows HYROX pushing into new markets while trying to build out both destination races and repeat regional events. The next near-term dates on the calendar are Tenerife on September 4-6, Athens on September 5-6 and Mumbai later in September, before the Gulf leg moves on to Abu Dhabi and then Dubai in November.
