Race spotlight
HYROX Frankfurt returns from 12–14 December 2025 at Messe Frankfurt, promising one of the largest events in the region with an expected 15,000 athletes. The 2024 edition saw over 8,000 participants across 12 divisions.
Racecation Review
If you want to feel the pulse of HYROX at full volume, Frankfurt is the place. HYROX was born in Germany, and this city brings that founding energy with serious force. As home to the reigning 2026 World Champions, expect elite-level racing, electric crowds, and a stage where every heat feels like a final. But beyond the start line, Frankfurt surprises. Post-race, celebrate with apple wine in the cobbled taverns of Sachsenhausen, cruise the Main River with skyline views, or explore a surprisingly rich art and museum scene. The city blends modern business towers with medieval charm—and it’s compact enough that you can soak it all in without a car. Frankfurt might not top your bucket list… until you race here. Then it’s unforgettable.
