Whether you’re already registered, still on the fence, or just trying to understand what race day looks like in the capital, this guide covers everything you need.
From the full day-by-day race schedule to tickets, flex add-ons, athlete check-in rules, and what’s included in your race package — this is your complete reference for HYROX DC 2026.
Venue details are still to be announced, but with five days of racing across every division, HYROX DC 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest HYROX events ever held on US soil.
What Is HYROX DC 2026?
HYROX DC 2026 is the official HYROX fitness race event taking place in Washington D.C. from September 3rd to September 7th, 2026. It is sponsored by Amazfit and marks the first time HYROX has run a five-day competition format in the US capital.
HYROX is a standardized fitness race that combines 8km of running with 8 functional workout stations — the same format, the same distances, every event, worldwide. Every athlete runs 1km, completes a workout station, runs another 1km, completes the next station, and so on until all 8 stations are done.
If you’re new to the format and want to understand exactly what you’re signing up for, check out our complete HYROX events guide before going further.

- Sled Push — 50m
- Sled Pull — 50m
- Burpee Broad Jumps — 80m
