Racecation Review

Puebla is a city where colonial beauty meets modern Mexican energy, making it a spectacular backdrop for HYROX. Nestled between volcanoes at 7,000ft, and known for its colorful architecture, Puebla gives athletes a racecation that feels both cultural and adventurous.

After crushing your wall balls, you can explore UNESCO World Heritage streets, sample world-famous mole poblano, or hike into the mountains for fresh air recovery. It’s a destination that balances performance with discovery, offering both big-race buzz and post-race relaxation in one of Mexico’s most historic yet forward-moving cities.

Public transport guide

Puebla’s public transport is serviceable but not the smoothest for visiting athletes.

Airport → City: Taxi or Uber is the easiest from PBC (~40 min). From Mexico City, direct luxury buses connect MEX to Puebla (~2 hours).
City Transport: Buses are cheap (~€0.50) but confusing for non-locals. Uber is reliable and inexpensive, best option for athletes.
