Racecation Review

Guadalajara brings HYROX energy to the cultural heart of Mexico. Known as the birthplace of tequila and mariachi, the city balances tradition with a thriving modern fitness scene. Expect high altitude intensity, warm hospitality, and a festive atmosphere that carries through every plaza and cantina. For athletes, it’s the chance to race hard, then celebrate recovery with vibrant food, nightlife, and local culture. Add in the city’s colonial architecture and buzzing markets, and Guadalajara is one of HYROX’s most colorful racecations.

Hotel Picks

Public transport guide

Public transport in Guadalajara is affordable and improving, but it’s not always the most reliable compared to taxis or ride-share. Athletes will find Uber and official taxis to be the most convenient way to move around, especially when carrying gear or heading to the venue.

  • Airport → City: Taxis and Uber are the most reliable (30–40 min). Shuttle buses are available but slower.
  • City Transport: Metro light rail (cheap, ~€0.60) plus buses and ride-share options. For athletes, Uber is the easiest.
  • Tips: Stick with official taxis or Uber for safety and speed.
