Race spotlight

HYROX returns to Valencia for a thrilling three-day competition at Feria Valencia with a high-energy atmosphere. HYROX Valencia has firmly established itself as a premier event in the global fitness racing calendar. The event also highlighted the rise of local talent, with athletes like Emilio Aguayo, a former Ironman champion, making significant strides in the HYROX arena. Valencia’s combination of a fast course, enthusiastic crowds, and a vibrant atmosphere makes it a must-attend for athletes aiming to test their limits and be part of record-breaking moments.

Racecation Review

Valencia offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities. After the race, explore the city’s medieval architecture, stroll along the Turia Gardens, and indulge in local Spanish cuisine. The city’s affordability and cultural richness provide the perfect setting for relaxation and exploration post-competition.

Hotels

Use the map to compare and book hotels near the HYROX Valencia venue — less travel, more focus on race day.

For Feria Valencia, stay in Benimàmet / Feria Valencia / northwest Valencia if race-day convenience is the priority. Central Valencia gives a better city experience, but it adds a commute before racing.

Recommended nearby hotels:

Premium

  • Sercotel Sorolla Palace — Stronger hotel option in the northwest conference area. Better as a short taxi or metro-based option to Feria Valencia.
  • Melia Valencia — Premium-leaning option near the Valencia Conference Centre side of the city. Better for athletes wanting comfort with manageable venue access.

Intermediate

  • Hotel Beleret — Practical option in Benimàmet, close to the Feria Valencia side of the city. Good for athletes prioritising venue access.
  • Port Feria Valencia — Venue-area hotel option designed around the fairgrounds zone. Check walking route before booking.

Budget / Practical

  • Ibis Budget Valencia Aeropuerto — Practical value option, better if airport and transfer access matter. Not a pure city-stay option.
  • Travelodge Valencia Aeropuerto — Budget/practical option if race-week rates near the fairgrounds are high.

Athlete booking advice:

 Valencia is a trade-off between race-day ease and city appeal. If racing early or travelling with a team, staying near Feria Valencia or the northwest side is the safer move.

Visa guide

Spain is part of the Schengen Area. Many travellers can enter visa-free for short tourism stays, while others need a Schengen visa. Short stays are generally limited to 90 days in any 180-day period, and time spent in other Schengen countries counts toward the same allowance.
