Why is HYROX Brisbane 2032 listed, and yes, we know it hasn’t been announced (yet!)?
This entry reflects a growing conversation in the HYROX community and among its founders about the sport’s Olympic potential. HYROX co-founder Christian Toetzke has publicly shared his ambition for HYROX to become an Olympic event, with Brisbane 2032 seen as a realistic and symbolic target.
While not yet official, we’ve included it as a placeholder for the dream — a marker of where this sport is heading and a rallying point for athletes and fans worldwide.
The Brisbane 2032 Olympics will be spread across three key regions: Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast.
At RoxRadar, we’ve made an educated prediction that a HYROX-style event, if included, would most likely take place at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre — a world-class venue that already fits the style and infrastructure of elite fitness racing.
Until it’s real, think of this listing as a future-facing pin — a little motivation and inspiration as HYROX continues its global rise.
For now, think of it as a placeholder for the dream — a reminder of where this movement might go, and the kind of stages HYROX athletes could one day compete on!
A side note to explain that the pin is currently in the Pacific Ocean near the Gold Coast so the pin doesn't overlap the APAX Championships in Brisbane in 2026.
Looking for actual HYROX Australia races, they are on our radar too!
Travel Visas for HYROX Australia
​
Most international athletes will need a visa to enter Australia, even for short stays to compete or spectate at HYROX events. The good news is that Australia offers streamlined electronic visa options for many nationalities. If you’re from countries like the UK, most of Europe, the US, Canada, or parts of Asia, you can typically apply online for either an eVisitor visa (subclass 651) or an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA, subclass 601). These visas allow stays of up to 3 months and are usually processed quickly — sometimes within 24–72 hours.
​
Make sure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay, and have your HYROX race confirmation and accommodation details ready in case you’re asked at the border. Athletes from countries not eligible for eVisitor or ETA will need to apply for a Visitor Visa (subclass 600), which may take longer and require additional documentation. You can check your eligibility and apply through the official Australian Department of Home Affairs. Plan ahead — Australia’s entry system is efficient, but it’s best to lock in your visa 2–4 weeks before your flight.
