- Where exactly is the start line at Music City Center?
- The start line is typically located in Exhibit Halls C & D. Use the main entrance on 5th Avenue South for the quickest access to athlete check-in.

- Yes, HYROX provides a secure bag drop area inside the hall. It is recommended to bring a small gym bag that can be closed securely.
- When should I arrive for my heat?
- You must check in at least 60 minutes before your scheduled start time to receive your timing chip and headband. The technical briefing happens 20 minutes before your gun.
- Are there aid stations on the course?
- Yes, water and electrolyte stations are available in the 'Roxzone' which you pass between each workout station and the running laps.
- Can I wear spikes or lifting shoes?
- Lifting shoes are allowed, but spikes are strictly prohibited on the MCC floor. Most athletes opt for a high-cushion hybrid shoe like the Puma Deviate Nitro.
- How do I get from BNA Airport to the venue?
- The easiest way is a rideshare (Uber/Lyft) which takes about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, the WeGo Public Transit Route 18 bus runs directly into downtown.
