Running plus functional strength, in one race
HYROX was founded in Hamburg, Germany in 2017. Each race is 8 × 1 km runs, with a workout station after every run. There's no judging of style and no complicated scoring: your finish time is your result.
Because the course is identical everywhere, a time set in Kuala Lumpur can be compared with one set in London, New York or Singapore. That's why so many people chase a personal best year after year.
- Ages 16 to 85 and every fitness level take part
- Singles, doubles and relay formats
- Over 99% of starters cross the finish line

Kuala Lumpur joins the global calendar
Malaysia hosts its first official HYROX race, AirAsia HYROX Kuala Lumpur, from 10–13 December 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).
Interest has been building all year. Malaysian athletes have been travelling to race in Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta, and gyms across the Klang Valley have added HYROX classes. Training groups and WhatsApp communities now meet in KL and PJ to prepare together.
Whether you're targeting December or the next race in the region, the formula is the same: build your running engine, practise the stations under fatigue and learn to pace yourself. That's exactly what we coach.
