- Where is the race packet pickup?
- Packet pickup is located at the Messe Basel Hall 2. It is typically available on Friday evening and early Saturday morning before your start wave.
- How do I get to the Messe from the airport?
- Take the Bus No. 50 from Basel Multi-Modal Airport (BSL) to Basel SBB train station, then tram No. 1 or 2 directly to the 'Messeplatz' stop.
- Are there lockers available for my bags?
- Yes, HYROX provides a secure bag drop area inside the hall, but it is recommended to bring a small gym bag that can be easily identified.
- Is there a specific warmup area?
- Yes, the venue features a designated 'Warm-up Zone' with rowers, ski-ergs, and weights for use approximately 30-45 minutes before your heat.
- What shoes should I wear?
- The concrete floor of Messe Basel is hard but provides good grip. Use a functional fitness shoe (like Puma Fuse or Metcon) rather than pure running shoes for stability in the sled push.
- Is there food available inside the venue?
- Yes, there are food stalls selling coffee, snacks, and high-protein meals, but it is advised to bring your own specific pre-race nutrition to avoid queues.
