What to pack for HYROX race day

Quick answer

Pack check-in details, broken-in shoes, a bottle and a dry change of clothes. Check your event rules before deciding what goes onto the course.

Pack three small groups

Check-in: required ID, ticket and start time available offline. Race: broken-in shoes, dry socks and clothing you’ve tested through transitions. Afterwards: a dry top, familiar snack and bottle. Put what you need at check-in on top.

Rehearse drinks and optional kit

Check venue water points and your division rules. Bring a drink you already tolerate. If you use a strip, test it with sweat, transitions and the way you wipe your face. Keep backup kit for the changing area, subject to event rules.

The evening-before check

For doubles, agree who carries shared kit and where to meet. Confirm the requested arrival time and bag-drop location. On race morning the bag should mainly contain things you already know how to use.
