Race spotlight
Kick off the 2025 HYROX race season in Geneva, where Swiss tradition meets international diversity. The event takes place over two days at Palexpo Genève, situated right across from Geneva Airport, offering easy access for international athletes. Participants can expect a well-organized event with a vibrant atmosphere, set against the backdrop of Geneva’s scenic landscapes. The city’s commitment to health and wellness makes it an ideal location for athletes seeking both competition and cultural immersion.
Racecation Review
Geneva offers a rich cultural experience for visiting athletes. After the race, explore the city’s diverse neighborhoods, indulge in its renowned culinary scene, and visit iconic landmarks like the Jet d’Eau and the United Nations Office. The city’s blend of modernity and tradition provides the perfect setting for relaxation and exploration post-competition.
Cost Insights
Geneva is among the most expensive cities on the HYROX calendar. Hotel rooms commonly start at $200–300 USD per night, even for mid-range options. A basic restaurant meal often costs $30–50, with casual food still priced above $15. Public transport is excellent—and often included with hotel stays—but other daily expenses add up quickly. While the city is clean, safe, and scenic, athletes should plan accordingly for a premium price tag. Geneva delivers Swiss quality but demands a Swiss-sized budget.
