- What is the best way to get to the International Congress Centre (MCK)?
- The venue is centrally located. If staying in the city centre, it is a 5-10 minute walk. From the airport, take the 'AP' airport shuttle bus or a Bol/Uber directly to the Spodek/MCK complex.
- When should I pick up my race packet?
- Packet pickup typically opens the day before the race at the venue. It is highly recommended to collect it on Friday to avoid the long queues on Saturday morning.
- Is there a specific warmup zone?
- Yes, Hyrox provides a dedicated warmup area with rowers, skiers, and weights. You can usually access this 30-45 minutes before your specific wave start time.
- Are there lockers available for my gear?
- Hyrox provides a secure bag drop area. However, it is communal, so avoid bringing valuables. Most athletes arrive ready to race and just drop a small gym bag.
- What is the floor surface like in Katowice MCK?
- The surface is typically polished concrete or industrial flooring covered with thin sports carpet. It is fast but can be hard on the joints, so ensure your shoes have adequate cushioning.
- Where can I find a good pre-race carb meal?
- The area around Mariacka Street and the Rynek (Market Square) has numerous Italian restaurants and bakeries. 'La Vecchia Scuola' is a popular choice for pasta.
