Will Mumbai Host India's Largest Fitness Party as Hyrox Returns?

Mumbai, Sep 6 (NationPress) Following a groundbreaking premiere earlier this year, Hyrox, the world series of fitness racing, is gearing up to return to Mumbai this Sunday with an even larger and more thrilling edition. The NESCO Center, which previously hosted India’s inaugural Hyrox in May, will once again be transformed into a vibrant fitness hub, set to welcome over 3,200 participants, nearly twice the number from its first race.

Hyrox merges 8 x 1 km runs with 8 functional fitness exercises like SkiErg, Sled Push, Burpee Broad Jumps, Farmers Carry, and Wall Balls. This format, reflecting races in 65 cities worldwide, enables competitors of all fitness levels to compete side-by-side in Singles, Doubles, Relay, and Pro categories.

“This return to Mumbai signifies more than just another race; it demonstrates the rising fitness movement across India. In May, Mumbai made headlines with its first Hyrox. Just four months later, every category is sold out and participation has surged. This impressive growth indicates that the fitness community here has not only participated but has fully embraced Hyrox as a crucial part of their lifestyle,” stated Deepak Raj, Country Head, Hyrox India.

Athletes from across India and over 50 nations will gather at the starting line, turning Mumbai into the vibrant epicenter of Hyrox’s global community for the day. The event will once again welcome participants of all ages, from casual fitness enthusiasts to seasoned competitors, making it a vibrant celebration of inclusivity and the collective spirit of competition. The race is part of the global 2025-26 Hyrox season, with finish times contributing to the global leaderboard and qualification for the 2026 Hyrox World Championships in Stockholm.

As Hyrox continues to broaden its reach in India, the momentum will shift to Bengaluru in April 2026, where the city will host a two-day Hyrox festival, marking yet another first for the country.

Sports brand Puma remains the official apparel and footwear partner for Hyrox globally. Fans and athletes in Mumbai will once again have the opportunity to experience the specially designed Puma x Hyrox collection, fusing performance with style, as they gear up to push their limits on the race floor. Tomorrow in Mumbai, participants can look forward to exploring this innovative Puma x Hyrox gear. For the first time in the Hyrox universe, engaging activities like Braiding & Tattoo stations, a Customization booth, and a unique fitness-first take on beverage windows in Italy have been organized by Puma India for participants in the Partner’s Zone.

The event is open to spectators, who can soak in the dynamic race-day atmosphere from 06:30 am onwards. Tickets are available on www.hyrox.co.in and at the venue.
