Race spotlight

Perth, we’re back — and this time, it’s a full-throttle, three-day fitness showdown. After an electric 2024 debut, HYROX returns to the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre with three epic days of racing, grit, and community. Bigger, better, and built for athletes who want more.

Visa guide

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.

Racecation Review

HYROX Perth offers a rare blend of competition and coastal calm. Set on Australia’s west coast, this city gives you big race vibes without the big-city chaos. The event takes place close to the Swan River and CBD, making it easy to balance race prep with laid-back local exploration. After race day, unwind with a ferry to Rottnest Island, sunset views at Cottesloe Beach, or brunch in leafy Subiaco. Perth’s pace is chill, the skies are clear, and the vibe is pure Aussie—making it the perfect spot for athletes who want a performance-focused race and a relaxing recovery.

Cost Insights

Perth offers moderate affordability by Australian standards. Hotel rates near the CBD or Optus Stadium typically range from $100–180 USD per night, with lower-cost options in surrounding suburbs. Casual dining—burgers, brunch, or Asian cuisine—generally costs $15–25, while upscale meals go for $40+. Public transport is reliable and reasonably priced, especially with free bus services in the central city zone. Attractions like Kings Park and nearby beaches are free, making the overall experience cost-effective. While not a bargain destination, Perth delivers great lifestyle value for your money.

Hotel Picks

The Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre (PCEC) sits right by the CBD and Swan River, making central accommodation both convenient and scenic. Great nearby options include Adina Apartment Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton Perth for an elevated stay, while Ibis Perth and Holiday Inn Perth City Centre offer comfort at a mid-range price. Budget-conscious athletes can also look to nearby suburbs accessible by public transport. With the venue close to transit, cafes, and the riverfront, race-day logistics are smooth and stress-free.

Public transport guide

Perth has a compact and easy-to-navigate transport system. While the city is car-friendly, athletes can rely on trains and buses for smooth access.

  • Airport → City: Perth Airport (PER) is just 12 km from CBD. Taxi or rideshare ~20 min (€25–35), or Airport Connect bus to Redcliffe Station, then train (~30–35 min).
  • City → Venue: Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre (HYROX Perth’s likely venue) is directly connected to Elizabeth Quay Station, making train access from most suburbs simple.
  • Tips: Buy a SmartRider card for discounted travel. Walking and cycling paths along the Swan River make getting around enjoyable on foot too.

Best photo spots

Perth offers a mix of urban skylines, beach sunsets, and natural backdrops — perfect for athletes chasing memorable medal shots. What makes Perth unique is that the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, creating iconic golden-hour views you won’t find in Sydney or Melbourne.

  • Cottesloe Beach – Perth’s most famous stretch of sand, with the Indian Ocean sunset as your medal backdrop. Golden light, crashing waves, and palm-lined promenades make it unforgettable.
  • Elizabeth Quay – Waterfront city shots, framed by the Swan River and Perth’s modern skyline.
  • Kings Park & Botanic Garden – Sweeping views over the CBD and Swan River, one of the largest inner-city parks in the world.
  • Scarborough Beach – A lively surf and sunset scene, with a more energetic vibe than Cottesloe.
  • Optus Stadium precinct – For dramatic architecture and sports culture, showing off Perth’s modern edge.

Local Climate

HYROX Perth lands in early September, just as spring begins in Western Australia. Expect mild and sunny conditions, with daytime highs around 20–24°C (68–75°F) and cooler mornings and evenings. Rain is minimal, skies are generally clear, and the dry climate creates an ideal setup for racing. This time of year offers some of the best weather Perth has to offer—comfortable, dry, and energizing for peak performance.

Local Eats

Near the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, athletes will find a vibrant food scene that balances fresh, healthy options with classic Aussie flavors. For a nourishing post-race meal, Sayers Sister serves wholesome dishes with plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices, perfect for clean recovery. If you’re craving casual dining, Jamie’s Italian offers hearty pasta and salads with some lighter options, while The Aviary rooftop bar combines great food with stunning city views. For something quick and fresh, the nearby Hay Street and Murray Street malls host cafes like La Veen Coffee & Kitchen, renowned for quality coffee and healthy brunch options. Perth’s culinary vibe reflects its sunny climate—fresh, flavorful, and balanced to fuel your next workout or recovery session.

Athletes can enjoy diverse flavors, from locally sourced seafood to plant-based innovations, making Perth a rewarding race-day destination for all dietary preferences.

Local Gyms

Perth’s fitness scene is flourishing, with a particularly active HYROX training culture supported by multiple officially affiliated clubs. The local training community is driven, welcoming, and heavily focused on competition preparation—making the city a hive for race-ready athletes.

Recovery Guide

After powering through the competition at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, athletes can unwind and recover with a range of wellness options just steps from the venue. Several nearby hotels, including The Ritz-Carlton Perth and Adina Apartment Hotel, feature full-service spas offering deep tissue massages, hydrotherapy baths, and aromatherapy treatments tailored for muscle recovery and relaxation.

For a unique recovery experience, check out the city’s floatation therapy centers, which provide sensory deprivation tanks to reduce muscle soreness and mental stress—perfect for resetting after intense racing.
