HYROX Gujarat 2026
HYROX is bringing its indoor fitness race to Gujarat for the first time: 26–28 November 2026 at Helipad Exhibition Centre, Gandhinagar. This page explains the race accurately and how to find a training partner. Squadd does not sell tickets and is not part of HYROX.
Facts checked 3 October 2026 against hyrox.com/event/hyrox-gujarat and the official race format. Waves and loads can change. Use those pages on race week.
Find training partners
People training in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat and Rajkot use Squadd to find a doubles partner, a relay team, or someone for a Saturday session. Set your city and post that you are preparing for the 26–28 November race.
HYROX gyms
Squadd does not publish a ranked list of HYROX gyms. Open Gym & Fitness for your city, or list your own gym, and say the session includes SkiErg, sled, row or wall balls.
Find coaches
Coaches on Squadd are independent. Search trainers in the app, then confirm they actually coach the stations you need. Squadd is not a HYROX coaching certificate.
Create a training squad
Host a recurring Gym & Fitness or running session and keep the same people in a Squad. That is the practical way to fill Doubles or Relay before race week.

The Gujarat race
HYROX says this follows sold-out events in Delhi and Mumbai and is the first time the race is in Gujarat. The India listing names HEC Hall 5 and 6, Gandhinagar 382010. Individual start times are linked about three days before the event. On-site athlete check-in opens 90 minutes before the first wave of that division. If you want to enter the hall earlier, the organiser says to use the spectators desk with your ticket and ID.
| Day | Divisions listed as provisional |
|---|---|
| Thu 26 Nov | Men Open, Men Pro, Women Pro, Doubles Men Open, Doubles Women Open, Women Open, Doubles Mixed |
| Fri 27 Nov | Men Open, Mixed Doubles, Doubles Mixed, Doubles Women Pro, Doubles Men Pro. The organiser also lists a Battle of Gyms on this day. |
| Sat 28 Nov | Doubles Women Open, Women Open, Doubles Men Open, Relay Men, Relay Mixed, Relay Women |
Provisional, and the organiser marks it subject to change. Lap count inside the hall was still TBC on the event page when this guide was written.
HYROX workout guide
Every HYROX race uses the same order. You run about 1 km, complete the station, then run again. Eight runs make 8 km. The Roxzone — the path between the run course and the station — is extra movement inside the venue, so one lap on the map is not always exactly 1 km. Check the event map.
1. SkiErg · 1,000 m
Arms, shoulders and trunk. Efficient athletes also use the legs.
2. Sled push · 50 m
Lower body and trunk. Grippy shoes matter. Load depends on your division.
3. Sled pull · 50 m
Glutes, back and biceps. Same 50 m distance in every division.
4. Burpee broad jump · 80 m
Full-body. Distance does not change between Open and Pro.
5. Row · 1,000 m
Second erg. Marks the back half of the race.
6. Farmers carry · 200 m
Grip, upper back and trunk. Kettlebell weight changes by division.
7. Sandbag lunges · 100 m
Thighs and glutes. Official format page cites 10, 20 or 30 kg sandbags by division.
8. Wall balls · 100 reps
Last station. Ball weight changes by division.
Open, Pro, Doubles, Relay
- Open — individual race at the standard loads.
- Pro — individual race with heavier equipment.
- Doubles — two athletes. Both complete every run. They split each station however they agree. You do not each run only 4 km.
- Relay — four athletes. Each person does two 1 km runs and one workout station. HYROX describes this for gyms, offices and friend groups.
On the official format page, the labeled Women block uses a 102 kg sled push (sled included), a 78 kg sled pull, two 16 kg kettlebells for the farmers carry, a 10 kg sandbag and a 4 kg wall ball. Men, Pro and mixed divisions are different. Do not copy a weight from a social post onto race day. Open the current rulebook from HYROX.
Train in Gujarat before Gandhinagar
The race hall is in Gandhinagar, not in every city. Most of the work before November is compromised running plus the eight stations. Squadd is useful for the partner problem: someone in your city who will meet for the 1 km repeats, a doubles split, or a four-person relay.
Gandhinagar
Race city. Set this if you can train near the venue.
Ahmedabad
Closest large city. Most athletes driving in for the weekend live here.
Vadodara
Find a local doubles pair, then travel to Gandhinagar for the race.
Surat
Same job: a weekly partner now, the hall in November.
Rajkot
Host a Gym & Fitness or running session and say it is HYROX prep.
- Install Squadd and set Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat or Rajkot.
- Open Gym & Fitness or Find players.
- Host a session named for your division, for example “HYROX doubles — running plus wall balls”.
- Move regulars into a Squad so the same people train each week.
