HYROX to Host Largest-Ever Race in Asia Bangkok Positioned as a Key Growth Market in the Region

HYROX currently operates in more than 30 countries and regions, hosting over 100 events in its 25/26 season and welcoming more than 1 million participants across five continents. Asia Pacific is one of its fastest-growing regions, with 17 events taking place across major cities this year.

"This will be the biggest HYROX race in the history of Asia, which is important not only for Bangkok, but for Asia as a whole," said Gary Wan, Managing Director of HYROX Asia Pacific.

Bangkok's dynamic lifestyle, vibrant energy, and global tourism appeal make it a compelling destination for international participants and are key factors behind HYROX's decision to stage the event in the city for the second time this year, following BYD HYROX Bangkok in March, which welcomed nearly 17,500 participants

This growth trajectory is clearly reflected in Bangkok, where the event has already expanded from three to four days, reflecting strong and growing demand from both participants and the local fitness community.

HYROX has built a strong local ecosystem in Thailand, partnering with more than 170 gyms nationwide, including 100 in Bangkok alone. Through structured training programs and shared resources, the company supports local operators in delivering official HYROX training and helps transform gyms into community-driven fitness hubs.

Speaking about Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Wan said, "The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center is the perfect venue for such a momentous occasion. We are committed to continually elevating the HYROX experience for all our races, so being able to partner with a venue which has such iconic history will help us fulfill this. The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center will lay the foundation for an extraordinary atmosphere come August."

Surapol Utintu, Chief Executive Officer of QSNCC said, "The event is expected to attract participants from around the world and contribute to Thailand's tourism and broader economy. As a venue, we are committed to serving as a platform for world-class international events — capable of hosting large-scale experiences while connecting global audiences with Thailand's sports and lifestyle ecosystem."

Looking ahead, HYROX plans to further expand across the Asia Pacific, with Thailand positioned as one of its key markets. The company aims to evolve its races into multi-day fitness experiences. Concurrently, HYROX is expanding into new Southeast Asian markets, with upcoming launches in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta, Indonesia, alongside ongoing exploration of markets such as Vietnam and the Philippines — reflecting the brand's strong growth trajectory in the region.

In parallel, HYROX is developing youth-focused initiatives, including 'HYROX Youngstars', aimed at driving participation among children aged 8 to 15 with a modified HYROX course, to support the long-term growth of the sport.
