Are you ready? The race you’ve been waiting for is back!
HYROX returns to Shanghai for the second time in the 2025/26 season, bringing the World Series of Fitness Racing to the iconic Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center for two full days of action.
The countdown has begun. See you at the start line!
Ticket sales start soon!
We’ve introduced the Flex Add-On and the Flex Lite to give athletes more flexibility and peace of mind in case of unexpected changes. It offers a simple way to request a refund or make changes to your ticket up to 1 day before the race.
