How does HYROX Anaheim work?
Every adult HYROX race follows the same format: a 1 km run, then one workout station, repeated eight times. The stations and distances are the same in every city, and each division lifts the same weights everywhere. The hall layout changes the number of laps per 1 km run, which HYROX lists on the event page under Laps to run. HYROX Anaheim is held at the Anaheim Convention Center. Book hotels early.

How should you pace HYROX Anaheim?
Anaheim runs over four days, so the crowd and noise in the hall depend on your wave. Notes:
- Block out the crowd: stick to your pacing plan through the last two stations, not the crowd's energy.
- Doubles handoffs: if you race Doubles, rehearse sled push cadence and handoff timing with your partner in weeks 8-10.
- Arrive early: on-site registration opens 90 minutes before your start time. Arrive when it opens so parking and check-in don't eat your warm-up.
