Liam McCroary is a Scottish HYROX athlete who moved into fitness racing after a career in football. An initial race during a week away from football helped turn his attention towards HYROX, and he went on to compete in Elite 15 racing, including the Melbourne Major.
At the 2026 World Championships in Stockholm, McCroary finished fifth overall in Pro Men in 56:07. He has also shared his experience of training, hydration and race preparation at events with Performr, bringing a footballer’s background to the practical demands of hybrid racing.
