The Main Event is four weeks away. You've been training. You've put in the work. Now it's time to find out what's working, and what still needs your attention.

Get ready.

Arena Sim Series #2 is your dress rehearsal. A fully set-up HYROX-style simulation with professional timing, but without the pressure of station judges, placings or competition.

This is your chance to test your race plan. Test your pacing. Test your transitions. Test your training. And leave knowing exactly what you want to work on in those final weeks.

What to expect

The same eight stations, in the same order

You'll move through the HYROX-style workout stations in the same order you'll experience at our Main Event.

StationDistance / repsOpenScaled
SkiErg1,000 m––
Sled Push50 m152 kg102 kg
Sled Pull50 m103 kg78 kg
Burpee Broad Jumps80 m––

Wall Balls100 reps9 kg6 kg

Distances and loads are based on the planned Main Event format. Loads may be scaled where required because of a mobility limitation.

You'll have a timing chip. You'll have a start time. You'll have a finish time.

But you won't have station judges.

That means you can focus on the things that matter right now

  • Your performance
  • Your pacing
  • Your preparation
Choose your challenge

Solo or Doubles. Half or Full.

Enter Solo or Doubles, with Half and Full Simulation options available.

Building up

Half Simulation

8 × 500 m runs + 8 workout stations

Perfect if Half Sim is your Main Event goal, or if you're still building towards the full distance.

Where it gets real

Full Simulation

8 × 1 km runs + 8 workout stations

This is where your preparation gets real. Use the Full Sim to test how your body handles the complete format and identify the final adjustments you want to make before March.

Teams of two

Doubles

Half or Full Simulation

Racing Doubles in March? Bring your partner. Work on how you divide the stations, when you change over, where your strengths complement each other and how you communicate when you're both under fatigue. This is the time to figure it out.

Need to scale it?

You can.

If you're planning to enter the Main Event Scaled Division, this is an ideal opportunity to test your scaling before Event Weekend.

Movements or loads can be modified where required because of a mobility limitation.

Try the alternatives. See what works. Know what you need in March.
Did you do Arena Sim Series #1?

Then compare it.

  • Has your running improved?
  • Are your transitions faster?
  • Does the sled feel different?
  • Can you hold your pace for longer?
  • Have you found a better strategy for the stations that caught you out?

This is where you find out whether the work you've been doing is working. And if something still isn't where you want it? Good. You still have time to work on it.

Missed December?

It doesn't matter.

You don't need a previous result to enter. February can be your first simulation. It can be your first benchmark.

It can even be the day you decide: “Yep. I'm entering the Main Event.”

That's exactly what these events are for.

Four weeks to go

This isn't race day. That's the point.

What you won't get

  • No podium
  • No placings
  • No station judges
  • No pressure to be perfect

What you do get

  • The course
  • Professional timing
  • A result
  • One last chance to learn before it counts

Think of it as your dress rehearsal. Try your race shoes. Test your pacing. Work out your station strategy. Learn where you can push and where you need to hold back. Then use what you learn.

Next stop: the Main Event

Where this is heading

December · Arena Sim Series #1

You set your benchmark

Your first professionally timed simulation.

February · Arena Sim Series #2

You test your progress

Your dress rehearsal, four weeks out.

12–14 March 2027 · Main Event

You find out what you're capable of

Station judges, competition, atmosphere, placings.

The Main Event adds the full race experience: station judges, competition, atmosphere, placings and the pressure that comes with putting your training to the test. February is where you prepare for it.
