HYROX The World Series of Fitness Racing Returns to Chicago

HYROX, the Global Fitness Racing series is returning to Chicago and will be bringing 2 events to the city this season. The first on November 5th 2022 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Centre is the second race of the year in the US. It will also act as a qualification opportunity for the elite race of the North American Championships which will be hosted for the second time in Chicago at the iconic Navy Pier in February 2023.

HYROX is the first event that bridges the gap between traditional endurance events and functional fitness by combining running with functional movements in a standardised format. Participants in HYROX complete 8 X 1KM Running Laps with a workout between each lap either as Individuals, as Couples or in a Relay Team of 4 with an accessible entry point for any level of fitness. After competing, participants receive a worldwide seeding with the top athletes having a chance to compete at the culmination of the season, the World Championships.

Moritz Fürste HYROX Co-Founder comments, "We've had great experiences in Chicago and look forward to this race being one of the largest North American races we have held. Participation in our events across the globe is growing fast this year but I'm most pleased to see our more accessible doubles and relay races outpacing the others as we bring more new people into the sport. We also expect to also see some of the best male and female athletes take part as the competition to qualify for the elite race at the North American Championship builds."
