Race spotlight

Racecation Review
HYROX Melbourne hits different—because this isn’t just another fitness city, it’s a lifestyle capital. Set in the vibrant CBD, your race weekend unfolds in the heart of one of the world’s most liveable cities, where laneway cafés pour world-class espresso, murals explode with color, and vinyl spins in basement bars by night. Post-race, refuel with smashed avo and flat whites in Fitzroy, stroll Southbank’s riverside arts scene, or lose yourself in the laneways of Hosier and Degraves, where street art meets street eats. The city’s music culture hums from rooftop venues to underground clubs. And if you’ve got an extra day, hit the road—sip Pinot in the Yarra Valley, cruise the Great Ocean Road, or catch a sunset at Bells Beach. HYROX Melbourne isn’t just a destination; it’s a vibe athletes never forget.
Cost Insights
With HYROX hosted in Melbourne’s CBD, you’re right in the heart of the action—close to transport, accommodations, and iconic attractions. While staying in the CBD can be pricier than outlying suburbs, the convenience is unmatched. Expect hotel rates ranging from AUD $180–300 per night for mid-range options, though budget-friendly hostels and apartment rentals exist nearby in areas like Southbank and Docklands.
