HYROX Abu Dhabi 2026

ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi

OCT 2026 23–25

HYROX Abu Dhabi runs Oct 23–25, 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. One detail decides whether you can enter at all: Friday, October 23, is a Women's Only Race Day, so only female athletes and spectators are admitted that day, and every men's and mixed division races on Saturday or Sunday. As of September 7, 2026, tickets had not opened, and the official event page was still showing a notification sign-up rather than a price. That same day the official HYROX race calendar listed no 2027 event anywhere in the United Arab Emirates, so a search for HYROX Abu Dhabi 2027 lands on this race.

Provisional schedule — subject to change by the organiser.

These are the organiser's provisional start-wave windows from the official event page, which marks the whole plan subject to change. Two Friday entries carry a single start time rather than a window, exactly as the official page prints them. Individual start times are linked about three days before the race and cannot be changed. Laps to run and the ceremony schedule were both still To Be Announced on September 7, 2026.

Sunday carries the most divisions, nine of the nineteen. It opens with Doubles Women at 10:00 and closes with three relay waves: Women's Relay 19:00–19:05, Mixed Relay 19:15–19:20 and Men's Relay 19:30–19:35, after a relay briefing at 18:00. Friday finishes earliest, with the Women's Relay at 16:00–16:10.

Friday, October 23, is a Women's Only Race Day: only female athletes and spectators are welcome that day. On-site registration opens for each division 90 minutes before that division's first start wave. To enter the hall before your check-in window, the official instruction is to go via the Spectators Desk and show your ticket and ID. You must bring ID, nobody may check in on your behalf, and during race weekend you can only check in on the day you compete.

Getting there

Venue address	ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, Al Khaleej Al Arabi St - Al Rawdah - W59 01 - Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates
Public transport	Bus number 040 serves ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi seven days a week, and taxis wait at the adjacent Aloft hotel entrance.

	The venue puts Abu Dhabi International Airport about 15 minutes away by car, a line HYROX repeats on the event page.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is HYROX Abu Dhabi 2026, and where is it held?

It runs Oct 23–25, 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, on Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street in Al Rawdah. Both facts are recent. On July 11, 2026, the official event page still said Date coming soon and listed the venue as To Be Announced. By September 7, 2026, it carried the dates, the ADNEC address and a full provisional start-wave plan for all three days.

Can men race at HYROX Abu Dhabi on Friday, October 23?

No. The organiser has made Friday, October 23, a Women's Only Race Day and states that only female athletes and spectators are welcome on this date. Friday holds five women's divisions, from Doubles Women at 14:00 to the Women's Relay at 16:00. Every men's and mixed division sits on Saturday, October 24, or Sunday, October 25 instead.

When do HYROX Abu Dhabi tickets go on sale, and what do they cost?

Neither had been published as of September 7, 2026. The official event page carried a Notification List with the line Ticket sales start soon and no ticket link, the official race calendar showed Abu Dhabi as Find out more rather than Buy Tickets, and the HYROX Middle East shop listed no Abu Dhabi event at all. The Get notified when registration opens box on this page sends one email when entries open, and we check the official page by hand before anything goes out.

What time does my division start at HYROX Abu Dhabi?

The schedule table above gives each division its day and start window from the organiser's provisional plan. Saturday opens at 10:00 with HYROX Men and Adaptive Men and ends with Doubles Mixed from 17:30 to 20:30. Sunday carries the most divisions, nine of the nineteen, from Doubles Women at 10:00 to the Men's Relay at 19:30, while Saturday runs latest, to 20:30, with the relay briefing at 18:00. Individual start times are linked about three days before the race, and the organiser does not permit changes.

How do I get to ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi?

By bus, route 040 serves the venue seven days a week. By car, the venue puts Abu Dhabi International Airport about 15 minutes away, a line HYROX repeats on the event page, and the two on-site car parks hold up to 6,000 vehicles between them. HYROX still warns that on-site spaces go first come, first served, so arrive early or use public transport at busy hours. Taxis wait at the adjacent Aloft hotel entrance.

Is there a HYROX Abu Dhabi 2027?

Not one that HYROX has announced. On September 7, 2026, the official race calendar ran from September 2026 through to the June 2027 world final, with dozens of races already dated 2027, and Abu Dhabi appeared exactly once, on Oct 23–25, 2026. The only other United Arab Emirates entry was HYROX Dubai on November 27 and 28, 2026. This race belongs to Season 26/27, which is why a search for 2027 lands here.
