HYROX Returns to Cologne!
Get ready, Cologne – HYROX is back. From April 16th to 19th, 2026, the world’s leading fitness race will be part of the action at FIBO, the ultimate trade show for fitness, health, and wellness.
For four exciting days, Cologne will be the epicenter of fitness energy, as athletes from all over the world converge for the challenge of a lifetime. This event is not just a race — it’s an adrenaline-fueled celebration of movement, strength, and determination!
Don’t miss out on the chance to challenge yourself, compete with the best, and immerse yourself in the dynamic fitness world at FIBO.
Mark your calendar now — HYROX Cologne 2026 is going to be an unforgettable experience!
Notice: There will be no official HYROX spectator ticket sale, as the race is part of FIBO. Because Thursday and Friday are trade-visitor days, spectators attending on these days will need to purchase tickets through a ticket shop link that will be shared with all athletes competing on Thursday and Friday prior to the event. Spectators for Saturday and Sunday must purchase a regular FIBO ticket on the FIBO website.
Athletes will have FIBO access on all four days. Around one month before the event, each athlete will receive a link and a code that can be used to obtain the FIBO ticket free of charge.

HYROX is all about pushing limits—now, you can race for a cause that matters. In partnership with High Impact Athletes (HIA), we’re launching Race for Impact, a chance to fundraise for global charities while competing.
You’ll have the chance to Race for Impact by choosing the Charity Ticket option when you sign up for your next HYROX event. From there, you’ll create your fundraising platform via HIA and choose from one of four important cause areas to focus your efforts on:
- Global Health
- Climate Solutions
- Mental Health
- Women’s Empowerment
The minimum fundraising requirement is €300 (Singles), €500 (Doubles Teams), €800 (Relay Teams), and your mission is simple: rally support from your network to help meet that goal before race day.
The charity ticket is discounted to encourage as many people as possible to fundraise. To prevent misuse, anyone who doesn’t meet the minimum goal will be blacklisted and won’t be able to purchase charity tickets in the future.
But don’t worry—High Impact Athletes will be with you every step of the way to help you archive the target!
