The wait is over - HYROX Mumbai 2025 is here this weekend. On 7 September, athletes from across India and around the world will line up at NESCO, Goregaon, to take on the second-ever HYROX race in India. With the season heating up and World Championship slots on the line, this race promises to deliver big performances, high energy, and unforgettable moments on the arena floor.

With the HYROX CLUB Championship running alongside the main divisions, expect gyms and runig clubs s to go head-to-head for bragging rights in India's first offical competition.

This is your last-minute athlete guide to HYROX Mumbai 2025: the official race map and schedule, travel logistics for getting around the city, and hotel picks still available for late-bookers. We’ll also highlight the best local food to fuel your recovery, gyms for tune-up sessions, and where to capture your HYROX flag photos in India’s most dynamic city.

If you’re racing, supporting, or just experiencing HYROX for the first time, Mumbai 2025 is more than a competition  - it’s a gateway to HYROX India’s future. The only question left is: are you ready to race this weekend?

Public transport guide

Mumbai’s transport is legendary—for both its scale and its chaos. While the city has an extensive suburban rail and metro network, neither is ideal on race weekend due to crowds and unpredictable schedules. For athletes carrying gear or traveling in groups, taxis and app-based rideshares (Uber, Ola) are the most reliable.

  • Airport → City Centre: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is ~20 km from South Mumbai. Travel time ranges from 45–90 minutes depending on traffic.
  • City Travel: Use taxis/rideshare for comfort and efficiency; metro lines are improving and safe, but can be crowded.
  • Tip: Always allow extra travel time—Mumbai traffic is intense, especially on weekends.

Best photo spots

Mumbai is a feast for the senses and the lens. From colonial-era architecture to buzzing street life and sweeping waterfront views, athletes won’t run out of iconic backdrops for medal shots.

  • Gateway of India – The city’s defining landmark on the waterfront, perfect for sunrise or evening medal photos.
  • Marine Drive (Queen’s Necklace) – Stunning coastal promenade with dramatic sunset views over the Arabian Sea.
  • Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus – A UNESCO heritage site and one of the world’s most photographed train stations.
  • Bandra-Worli Sea Link – Striking modern bridge, a symbol of Mumbai’s ambition and speed.
  • Chowpatty Beach – Bustling local vibe with the skyline in the background.

Mumbai, are you ready for round two?

The ultimate fitness challenge returns to Mumbai for a second event! Following an unforgettable debut in May 2025 and a successful event in Delhi in July 2025, HYROX is back to push athletes harder, faster, and further. The NESCO Centre in Goregaon sets the stage with its expansive halls, controlled climate, and race-day buzz that will have you powering through every kilometre and station.

But the magic of Mumbai isn’t confined to the competition floor. Stay the weekend and dive into the city’s kaleidoscope of experiences—spice-laden markets, sunset strolls along Marine Drive, Bollywood energy in Bandra, and late-night street food adventures. It’s a city that matches HYROX’s intensity stride for stride, offering both a fierce race and a feast for the senses.

This is fitness racing wrapped in vibrant culture—a race-cation that invigorates both your body and soul.
