Course format

Virgin Active HYROX Cape Town is announced for March 26–28, 2027 at the CTICC. This replaces the old guide’s August estimate; the completed August 2026 event and the new March event must not share a race-day schedule.

  • The official event span is March 26–28, 2027.
  • The venue is the CTICC at Convention Square, 1 Lower Long Street.
  • Division schedules, run-lap counts and early check-in times are still to be confirmed.

Race guide

Cape Town returns to the CTICC in March 2027

The organizer’s current event page and South Africa support directory agree on March 26–28, 2027. Use that span for initial planning, then confirm your division’s own day before booking a tight arrival or departure. An event weekend is not a promise that every athlete races on its first morning.

The page identifies the CTICC at Convention Square, 1 Lower Long Street, Cape Town City Centre. Use the final athlete-access map to choose the correct entrance and meeting point. A venue address alone does not tell you where check-in, warm-up, spectator access and the start holding area will be.

The published division timetable and run-lap count are still pending. The organizer says individual start times will be linked close to the event. Keep your planning based on the actual division allocation and final briefing, and do not reuse the completed August edition’s wave or hall layout.

The event instructions require identification and say athletes cannot check in on someone else’s behalf. During the weekend, check-in is limited to the day of competition. Coordinate this with Doubles or Relay partners and verify the final opening times before travel. Prepare to the current rules for your entry category, then organise the taper around your confirmed race day.

Race-day strategy

  • Keep the opening runs and sled work below maximum effort.
  • Treat Roxzone transitions as part of the race, not as recovery you can ignore.
