Provisional schedule — subject to change by the organiser.

These are the organiser's provisional start-wave windows from the official event page. Your individual start time is linked about 3 days before the event, and start-time changes are not permitted.

Tuesday to Saturday each end with a start window closing at 20:30; Sunday's last window is Doubles Men, 15:50 to 19:30. Every day's first wave opens at 08:00.

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, go via the Spectators Desk with your ticket and ID. During race weekend you can only check in on the day you compete, and a physical ID is required — digital copies and photographs are not accepted.

Watching, not racing?

Spectator tickets in Birmingham are 15 GBP (as of Sep 21, 2026). Child and companion rules vary by event — confirm the official ticket terms before you travel. Under-12s watch free but still need a FREE U12 CHILD SPECTATOR ticket for that day, and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult holding a spectator ticket. Spectator tickets are sold per day and cannot take the Flex Add-On.

Road to Worlds

Birmingham carries qualifying places for the 2027 HYROX World Championships — AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong, June 10–13, 2027. The rule depends on your division: Pro divisions qualify every age group except 60+, Doubles Mixed qualifies every age group, and the Open divisions qualify only the 60+ age groups (official ticket terms). Qualifying runs through the May 16, 2027, race weekend.

Pair it with a marathon

These same-country marathons fall within about 8 weeks of Birmingham HYROX — close enough to build one trip, or a back-to-back season, around both.

Doubles splits the station reps, not the 8 km or the weights — how to divide reps, and the 1-minute penalty for running ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a HYROX Birmingham 2027?
Not on the official HYROX race finder. As of September 7, 2026, it lists HYROX Birmingham once, Oct 27, 2026 – Nov 1, 2026 at the NEC, plus a HYROX Youngstars Birmingham race on October 31 and November 1. The same list already carries 2027 dates for dozens of other races, so this is the current position rather than a page waiting to be updated. The UK races it does show for 2027 are Manchester (January 20–31), Glasgow (March 10–14) and Cardiff (May 20–29). The email sign-up in the entry section of this page covers new ticket releases.
What events can I take part in at HYROX Birmingham?
Six adult divisions run in Birmingham: Solo Open, Solo Pro, Doubles Open, Doubles Pro, Relay and Adaptive. Doubles and Relay places are priced per athlete, so every team member buys their own entry. Solo Open, Doubles Open and Adaptive each race on five of the six days, and which five differs by division and by gender. There is also a HYROX Youngstars race at the same venue for ages 8 to 15, on October 31 and November 1.
Which day and time does my division race at HYROX Birmingham?
The table on this page lists the official window for each division on each day it races, 42 entries across the six days. Because half the divisions race on five different days, your entry is tied to one of them and the ticket names it, for example HYROX MEN | Tuesday. The first wave opens at 08:00 every day. Tuesday to Saturday each end with a window closing at 20:30, and Sunday finishes with Doubles Men from 15:50 to 19:30. Your individual start time is linked about three days before the event and cannot be changed.
What do I need to bring to check in at HYROX Birmingham?
A physical copy of your ID. The organiser states that digital copies and photographs will not be accepted, and you cannot check in on behalf of anyone else. During race weekend you can only check in on the day you compete. On-site registration for a division opens 90 minutes before that division’s first start wave, and to enter the hall earlier you go via the Spectators Desk with your ticket and ID. At registration you collect an athlete wristband, a venue access wristband, an ankle strap with timing chip and a bib number, and you cannot race without all four. Check-in dates, times and location were still listed as TBC on September 7, 2026.
How much does HYROX Birmingham 2026 cost?
Solo Open, Solo Pro and Adaptive entries were listed at 125 GBP per person, but as of September 7, 2026, every athlete ticket for all six days was off sale in the official shop, with only spectator tickets still available; Doubles and Pro Doubles are priced per athlete, and Relay is the cheapest place per team member; the full table on this page includes the spectator price. Charity entries cost less but commit you to raising 400 GBP for a solo place or 800 GBP for a doubles pair. Refunds exist only with the Flex Add-On: 100% up to 31 days before your race day and 50% up to 7 days before, requested through your HYROX account by 7:59 AM on the cut-off day. There are no transfers to other events and no division changes.
Do spectators need a ticket at HYROX Birmingham, and can children watch free?
Spectator tickets are 15 GBP for a single day and are sold separately for each of the six days. The official ticket terms read: for ages 12 and over, children under 12 go free but require a ticket, and children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult spectator ticket holder. The free under-12 ticket is its own line in the shop and has to be added for the day you are attending. Spectator tickets cannot take the Flex Add-On, so they are not refundable.
Where is HYROX Birmingham 2026 and how do I get to the NEC?
The venue is the NEC, Pendigo Way, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT. It is a five-minute walk from Birmingham International railway station, and a free Air-Rail Link shuttle connects the airport terminal with Birmingham International station. Driving, the postcode B40 1NT gets you to the site but not to your event car park, so follow the on-site signage once you arrive. Pre-booking parking before midnight the day before saves 5 GBP, and the NEC takes no cash for parking.
