Tenerife to Host HYROX 2026/2027 Season Opener

HYROX is officially coming to the Canary Islands, marking a major milestone in the fitness brand’s global expansion. Tenerife has been chosen to host the season opener for the 2026/2027 international calendar, a decision that highlights the island's growing appeal as a premier destination for sports tourism.

The event will take place at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Trade Fair Center from September 4 to 6, 2026. The venue will be transformed to host the signature HYROX circuit, which challenges participants with eight kilometers of running interspersed with eight functional workout stations. This format has become a global phenomenon, attracting everyone from elite athletes to fitness enthusiasts looking to test their personal limits.

Bringing the event to the Canary Islands is a significant step for local athletes, who will now have the chance to compete on a world-class stage without the high costs of traveling to the mainland or abroad. The weekend program will feature all standard HYROX categories, including individual Open and Pro divisions, as well as pairs and team relays, ensuring there is a challenge for every fitness level.

By launching its international season in the archipelago, HYROX is further cementing the Canary Islands' reputation as a key sporting hub in Europe. This move not only engages the local community but also draws international visitors who want to combine a high-intensity competition with the unique landscape of Tenerife. This event underscores the island's growing role in the fitness industry, which is becoming an increasingly important driver for diversifying the Spanish tourism economy.
