Race spotlight

HYROX returns to one of Asia’s most exciting cities, Hong Kong for the second time in the 2025/26 season! 

With the race hosted at AsiaWorld-Expo right by the international airport, athletes can expect a seamless arrival and a high-energy event atmosphere in a venue known for mega sports and entertainment shows. The competition floor will buzz with international talent as Hong Kong cements its status as a key stop on the HYROX global calendar.

But the experience doesn’t stop at the finish line. Extend your stay and explore the city’s legendary mix of East-meets-West culture: neon-lit streets, Victoria Harbour skyline runs, and some of the best recovery cuisine on the planet. Whether you’re here for a quick hit or a long race-cation, Hong Kong brings world-class competition and unforgettable experiences.

Visa guide

  • Visa-free access: Citizens of the EU, UK, USA, Australia, and most major countries can stay visa-free from 7–90 days depending on nationality.
  • Others: Athletes from select countries may need to apply in advance. Check Hong Kong Immigration for up-to-date requirements.

Racecation Review

A HYROX weekend in Hong Kong offers more than just racing,  it’s an immersion into a city that never slows down. Spend your mornings recovering on a beach in Repulse Bay, afternoons exploring bustling street markets, and evenings dining on dim sum or Michelin-star dumplings. The mix of traditional wellness (herbal teas, acupressure) with modern recovery spas creates the perfect balance for athletes. Add in breathtaking skyline views from Victoria Peak and you’ve got a race-cation that’s as exhilarating off the floor as it is on it.

Cost Insights

ong Kong is one of Asia’s most dynamic (and priciest) cities. Compared to other HYROX host locations worldwide, it sits on the higher end — similar to London or New York in terms of cost. The vibe is fast-paced and cosmopolitan, with world-class convenience for athletes who want everything close at hand.

  • Affordability Rating: $$$$ (out of $$$$$)
  • Accommodation: $120–$250 USD per night for mid-range hotels near the venue or Kowloon; premium options $300+
  • Dining: $6–$12 USD for casual eats, $30–$50 USD for higher-end meals
  • Transport: $1–$3 USD for MTR metro rides, $20–$40 USD for taxis across the city

Hotel Picks

Hotels near AsiaWorld-Expo are limited but very convenient for race day. Staying adjacent to the venue means zero transport stress, while Central, Kowloon, and Tsim Sha Tsui offer broader lifestyle and nightlife options (20–30 min MTR ride).

  • Premium – Regal Airport Hotel (Connected to Venue)
  • Just steps from AsiaWorld-Expo, this hotel is unbeatable for convenience. Spacious rooms, blackout curtains, and soundproofing help with pre-race rest. Facilities include a full gym, indoor pool, spa, sauna, and in-room dining — ideal for carb-loading or recovery meals. The late check-out option is athlete-friendly.
  • Mid-range – Novotel Citygate Hong Kong (~5 min drive)
  • A short shuttle from the venue, this modern hotel offers spacious rooms, a pool, 24/7 fitness centre, and healthy buffet dining options. Great balance of price and comfort, with a more relaxed atmosphere than staying right on-site.
  • Budget – Transit Resting Pods / Guesthouses at HKG (~5–10 min walk)
  • For athletes prioritising budget and proximity, the capsule-style pods at the airport and nearby guesthouses offer affordable, no-frills stays. Compact, efficient, and walking distance to the venue — perfect for solo racers or crews keeping it lean.

Public transport guide

  • Best Modes: MTR Airport Express and Tung Chung Line are efficient and athlete-friendly with luggage space.
