- Where is the athlete check-in?
- Packet pickup and check-in take place at IFEMA Hall 12 or 14 (check final athlete guide) the day before the race. There is typically no same-day pickup for early waves.
- How do I get from Barajas Airport to IFEMA?
- The Pink Line (Line 8) of the Metro goes directly from all airport terminals to the 'Feria de Madrid' station, which is the IFEMA stop.
- Is there a bag drop available?
- Yes, HYROX provides a secure bag drop area inside the hall. It is recommended to bring a small gym bag that closes fully.
- What is the race floor like?
- The surface is typical polished concrete inside an exhibition hall. While the run track is carpeted, ensure your shoes have good grip for the Sled Push and Pull.
- Can I bring my own hydration?
- Yes, while there is a central hydration station on the course with water and sports drinks, you can carry your own gels or handheld bottles.
- Are spectators allowed near the workout stations?
- Spectators have great visibility from the perimeter and 'Roxzone' viewing areas, but they cannot enter the actual workout stations or run track.
- Is there parking at the venue?
- IFEMA has extensive paid parking (Yellow and Purple zones), but it can be expensive. Using the Metro is highly recommended for ease of access.
