Give it a go.
See what you're
capable of.
A fully set-up HYROX-style simulation without the pressure of competition. No station judges. No placings. Just you, the course and the clock.
Curious about HYROX-style training? Thinking about entering Arena Race – The Main Event in March? Or just want something different to challenge yourself?
Arena Sim Series #1 is your chance to experience a fully set-up HYROX-style simulation without the pressure of competition. No station judges. No placings. No expectation that you already know exactly what you're doing.
You'll be professionally timed, complete the stations in a full event-style set-up and walk away knowing a whole lot more about where you're at, and what to work on next.
You'll move through the HYROX-style workout stations in the same order you'll experience at our Main Event.
| # | Station | Competition distance / reps | Competition weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SkiErg | 1,000 m | – |
| 2 | Sled Push | 50 m | Men 152 kg / Women 102 kg |
| 3 | Sled Pull | 50 m | Men 103 kg / Women 78 kg |
| 4 | Burpee Broad Jumps | 80 m | – |
| 5 | Row | 1,000 m | – |
| 6 | Farmer's Carry | 200 m | Men 2 × 24 kg / Women 2 × 16 kg |
| 7 | Sandbag Lunges | 100 m | Men 20 kg / Women 10 kg |
| 8 | Wall Balls | 100 reps | Men 6 kg / Women 4 kg |
But you won't have station judges watching every rep. This one is about learning.
Your result gives you a benchmark to train from.
Enter Solo or Doubles, with Half and Full Simulation options available.
A brilliant first step if you're new to this style of event or simply want to test yourself without taking on the full running distance.
Want to see how the full format feels? This is your opportunity to test it in a low-pressure environment before Main Event weekend.
Not ready to do it alone? Don't. Bring a training partner and take it on together. Doubles is available across Half and Full Simulation formats.
If a movement or load doesn't work for you because of a mobility limitation, talk to us.
Movements and loads can be scaled where required so you can still experience the course, get a time and find out what you're capable of.
There are no placings here and no station judges. This is exactly the place to try it.
There are no podiums to chase. No station judge is waiting to no-rep you. And nobody expects perfection.
Think of your finish time as information, not judgement. It gives you a starting point, because once you know where you are, you can decide where you want to go.
Arena Sim Series #1 is your first opportunity to establish a proper benchmark.
Set your benchmark in a full event-style set-up.
See what's changed.
The full race experience: judges, placings and atmosphere.
December isn't about being ready for March. It's about finding out what you need to do to get ready.
You don't have to be a HYROX athlete. You don't need to be the fastest person in your gym. And you definitely don't need to wait until you feel “fit enough”.
This event is for gym members, runners, functional fitness athletes, training partners, first-timers and experienced athletes looking for a benchmark.
And anyone who's looked at the Main Event and thought: “I'd like to try that… but I'm not sure.” Come and find out.
Choose Half or Full Simulation, Solo or Doubles, and come and see what you're capable of. Places are limited by wave capacity, so early registration is recommended.
Professional timing. Full course set-up. A real result.
Come and see what you're capable of. Then we'll see you again in February.
