Question 1

What is the best way to get to the ExCeL London?

Accepted Answer

The Elizabeth Line (Custom House station) is the fastest way from Central London or Heathrow. The DLR also serves Custom House and Prince Regent stations, which drop you directly at the venue entrances.

Question 2

When should I arrive for my heat?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to arrive at the venue at least 60-90 minutes before your scheduled start time. This allows for bib collection, bag drop, and a proper 20-30 minute warmup.

Question 3

Is there a specific area for warming up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HYROX provides a specific 'Warm-Up Zone' with rowing machines, ski-ergs, and light weights. It is usually located near the start arch and transitions into the pre-start coral.

Question 4

Are there lockers available for athletes?

Accepted Answer

There is a managed bag drop area for athletes. You receive a wristband that matches your bib number. Large bags are accepted, but avoid bringing excessive valuables.

Question 5

Can I wear spikes or specialized footwear?

Accepted Answer

No. The race is on a concrete/carpeted surface. Most athletes wear functional training shoes or high-cushion running shoes with good grip for the sled push/pull.

Question 6

Is food available inside the venue?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ExCeL has multiple permanent food outlets and HYROX usually hosts sports-specific vendors. However, options can be busy, so bringing your own known race-day fuel is advised.
