Hyrox to host largest-ever race in Asia

06.08.2026

Global fitness race Hyrox is accelerating its expansion across Asia, with plans to stage its largest-ever race in the region, “BYD Hyrox Bangkok”

It takes place from 13th –16th August 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). The event is expected to attract more than 22,000 participants from Thailand and overseas, making it the biggest Hyrox race in Asia to date – and “a must-attend event” on the global fitness calendar.

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.

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, say those responsible – 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. 

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.”
