Mumbai didn’t just host India’s first HYROX race; it unleashed a fitness phenomenon. The NESCO Center at Goregaon, Mumbai pulsed with a frenzied level of energy on Saturday, 1650 athletes converged in an energetic display of athleticism and competitive spirit.

From the first SkiErg pull to the final Wall Ball shot, participants pushed their limits throughout the demanding HYROX format – eight 1km runs alternating with eight functional fitness challenges. The sheer scale of the event, combined with the raw energy of the athletes, created an electrifying spectacle that captivated a packed venue. High performance and eye-catching HYROX merchandise from sports brand PUMA, the official apparel and footwear partner, added to the festive atmosphere.

It’s great to see HYROX catching on in India, it will create more everyday athletes and help them develop in a much better way.
