IRON LADIES HYROX SIMULATION

Shepton Mallet | Sunday 11th October 2026

Get ready for a full HYROX simulation designed to give you the intensity, atmosphere and challenge of race day in a friendly and supportive environment.

Whether this is your first taste of HYROX or you're preparing for your next race, this event is about testing yourself, learning and having a brilliant day with the community.

📅 EVENT DAY

Sunday 11th October 2026

8:00am – Athlete Briefing

All athletes should be present for the briefing. We'll explain the course, workout stations, movement standards, judging, safety information and everything you need to know before starting.

8:45am – First Wave Starts

Athletes will be allocated individual wave/start times.

⏱️ PLEASE GIVE US YOUR ESTIMATED FINISH TIME

When registering, please give us a rough estimate of how long you expect your HYROX Simulation to take.

Don't worry, it doesn't need to be exact! This simply helps us organise the waves and make the event run as smoothly as possible.

We will use everyone's estimated times to pre-plan the event schedule one week before the event.

Your allocated start time will then be sent to you in advance, so you'll know exactly when you're competing and can plan your day accordingly.

Please make sure you're warmed up and ready to go before your allocated start time to help us avoid delays or confusion on the day.
