Mumbai, are you ready for round two?
The ultimate fitness challenge returns to Mumbai for a second event! Following an unforgettable debut in May 2025 and a successful event in Delhi in July 2025, HYROX is back to push athletes harder, faster, and further. The NESCO Centre in Goregaon sets the stage with its expansive halls, controlled climate, and race-day buzz that will have you powering through every kilometre and station.
But the magic of Mumbai isn’t confined to the competition floor. Stay the weekend and dive into the city’s kaleidoscope of experiences—spice-laden markets, sunset strolls along Marine Drive, Bollywood energy in Bandra, and late-night street food adventures. It’s a city that matches HYROX’s intensity stride for stride, offering both a fierce race and a feast for the senses.
Most international visitors require an Indian e-Visa, available online pre-travel. Visa applicability depends on nationality—check the Indian Government’s e-Visa portal to confirm requirements and process times.
Bring your best, and Mumbai will repay you. Show up for the grind at NESCO, then step into a city that rewards with tropical breezes and aromatic masala streets. Explore Bollywood billboards in Bandra, watch monsoon clouds gather over the Arabian Sea, and welcome post-race rituals in spice-scented cafés or late-night Irani bakeries. This is fitness racing wrapped in vibrant culture—a race-cation that invigorates both your body and soul.
For athletes chasing the ultimate race-cation without breaking the bank, Mumbai delivers world-class competition at one of the lowest price points on the HYROX calendar.

All the below options balance proximity to NESCO with access to vibrant dining or calm recovery zones—choose depending on your training and relaxation preference.
Mumbai’s transport is legendary—for both its scale and its chaos. While the city has an extensive suburban rail and metro network, neither is ideal on race weekend due to crowds and unpredictable schedules. For athletes carrying gear or traveling in groups, taxis and app-based rideshares (Uber, Ola) are the most reliable.
Mumbai is a feast for the senses and the lens. From colonial-era architecture to buzzing street life and sweeping waterfront views, athletes won’t run out of iconic backdrops for medal shots.
Expect warm, humid days in September, with occasional monsoon showers that can spike humidity. As the city transitions from monsoon to autumn, air quality is typically manageable—but bring hydration, breathable layers, and mesh-wicking gear to dial in comfort at every step.
Mumbai’s food scene is electric—a fusion of street-savvy bites, refined Parsi cafés, and coastal curry houses. Expect culinary layers of spice, crunch, and freshness that rebuild you better than any recovery shake.
Mumbai’s fitness scene is evolving fast, blending a dynamic city energy with structured, performance-driven training. While functional and CrossFit gyms are establishing roots, there’s now a dedicated facility offering official HYROX training:
Mumbai athletes embody hustle and heart. This fitness culture is as much about daily movement as it is about conditioning—expect early morning group runs, rooftop HIIT, and a growing HYROX coaching presence shaping prep culture.
Mumbai will revive you; from Ayurvedic rituals to urban tranquility.
