- When should I pick up my HYROX race packet?
- Packet pickup is usually available the Friday before the race and early Saturday morning at the Tampa Convention Center. It is highly recommended to collect it on Friday to avoid race-day queues.
- Is there a specific area for warming up?
- Yes, HYROX provides a designated 'Warm-Up Area' inside the hall with rowers, SkiErgs, and weights. You can access this approximately 30-45 minutes before your start wave.
- What is the spectator situation like in Tampa?
- The Tampa Convention Center offers excellent spectator views. Fans can purchase tickets online and stand in the central 'Roxzone' to see athletes transition between stations and running laps.
- Are there lockers available for my gear?
- There is a gear bag drop-off area provided for athletes. You receive a tag with your bib number. However, secure lockers are not provided, so leave valuables in your hotel room.
- How do I get to the venue from Tampa International Airport?
- The easiest way is via Uber or Lyft, which takes about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) bus services are available, but a taxi/rideshare is significantly faster for athletes with gear.
- What shoes should I wear for the Tampa course?
- The floor is standard polished concrete or event carpet. Use a fitness-specific shoe with good grip and stability for sled pushes, rather than a pure carbon-plate marathon shoe.
