- What is the best way to get to the SEC on race morning?
- The SEC has its own train station 'Exhibition Centre' which is only a 3-minute journey from Glasgow Central. If staying in Finnieston, it's a short 5-10 minute walk.
- When should I arrive for my heat?
- You must check in and collect your timing chip at least 90 minutes before your scheduled start time. This allows for bag drop and a proper 30-minute warmup.
- Is there a bag drop at HYROX Glasgow?
- Yes, there is a secure athlete baggage area. You will receive a bag tag with your race pack. Keep your belongings minimal and well-identified.
- Which shoes are recommended for the SEC floor?
- The SEC floor is typical industrial concrete with mats. Shoes with good grip for the sled push/pull, like the Puma Fuse or Reebok Nano, are highly recommended over pure running shoes.
- Can I bring my own nutrition and hydration?
- Yes, athletes can bring their own bottles and gels. There is a water station in the Roxzone (transition), but having your own electrolytes for before and after is advised.
- Are spectators allowed inside the SEC?
- Yes, spectators are welcome! They need to purchase a spectator ticket. The SEC layout is excellent for seeing multiple workout stations from the viewing areas.
- Is there a dedicated warmup area?
- HYROX provides a specific warmup zone with ergs (Row/Ski), weights, and space for mobility work that you can access roughly 30 minutes before your heat.
