Hybrid Athlete Race Simulation 2026
A full HYROX-style practice race, three weeks before HYROX DC. $40 per athlete, open to members and non-members — every station scales to your level.
Race the race before the race
Three weeks before HYROX DC (Sept 3–7 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center), run the full format at our gym in Shirlington: the runs, the stations, the transitions. Feel the sled-to-run in your legs, find your real pace, and fix your fueling plan while there's still time to train on what you learn.
Open to members and non-members. Every station scales, so you don't need to be race-fit to jump in — whether you're racing DC, training for a mud race, marathon, or triathlon, or just curious what the fuss is about.
Racing doubles in DC?
Bring your partner — or come meet one. Training rooms like ours are where race partners find each other.
The format: eight 1 km runs, each followed by a station — SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. Every station scales to your level, and coaches are on the floor the whole time.
