The three-day event, in partnership with functional fitness franchisor F45, will be held at Pier 76 Hudson River Park, where roughly 15,000 athletes are expected to compete.Hyrox, the fast-growing name in competitive racing, is leveling up its race-day experience with the launch of Hyrox X Centr Perform Turf — a custom-engineered racing surface set to make its mark at the World Championships in Chicago this June.

“We believe the sport of Hyrox can be trained inside every fitness facility around the world in the same way you go to yoga or HIIT class,” Hyrox chief operations officer Douglas Gremmen told Athletech News earlier this year.Developed in collaboration with Centr and athlete-tested, the new sled turf is designed to deliver optimal conditions for sled pushes and pulls and will be available for purchase for Hyrox Training Clubs and Performance Centers.

Most recently, Middle East gym operator GymNation, which has more than 110,000 members, signed on to launch dedicated Hyrox Performance and Hyrox Training Centers.
