When is HYROX Perth 2027?
Not announced. Yet. HYROX’s season calendar and the results site HYRESULT both list the August 2026 race as the latest Perth event, with nothing dated after it. We’ll update this page when the date is confirmed.
The pattern so far: 14 September 2024, 5 to 7 September 2025, then 21 to 23 August 2026. Our read is that late August or September 2027 is the likeliest window, but that’s a guess from three data points, not an announcement. Don’t book flights on it.
Every other Australian race and its status is in our HYROX guide.
Where is HYROX Perth held?
At the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, 21 Mounts Bay Road, on the edge of the CBD by the river. It’s next to Elizabeth Quay station, so you can get there by train without fighting for parking on race morning.
How big is HYROX Perth?
Big, and growing faster than almost anything else in Australian fitness. Athlete numbers listed by HYRESULT:

|---|---|
| Perth 2024 (14 Sep) | 2,428 |

The warning from 2026
Seven competitors were taken to hospital from the 2026 race, three of them classed as time-critical, with heat illness, chest pain and fainting among the problems reported. Here’s what happened at HYROX Perth and what it means for you.
The short version: HYROX looks finishable, and most people do finish it. But it’s eight kilometres of running with heavy sleds, burpees and 100 wall balls on top. Race the fitness you’ve actually built, not the time you want, and stop if you get chest pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness.
How to get ready for HYROX Perth 2027
Not knowing the date is an advantage if you use it. If Perth lands in late winter again, you have around nine months, which is enough time to build a proper engine rather than cram one.
- Now to autumn: build the base. Running is the biggest single part of the race, so get to where 5km at an easy pace feels routine, and lift twice a week. How to build a HYROX program covers the four things every plan needs.
- Learn the stations. Practise each one at your division’s weight, especially the sleds and wall balls. All 8 stations and weights are here, and this HYROX workout works in a normal gym.
- Race a warm-up event. Melbourne (December) and Brisbane (autumn 2027) are dress rehearsals. Doubles is the gentlest first race.
- Last 8 weeks: follow a plan. Our free 8-week HYROX training plan takes you to race day, taper included.
- Train in the warm. The 2026 race was in August and still sent people to hospital with heat illness. Do some sessions in a warm gym, and practise drinking on the move.
