New Delhi: After a successful debut in Mumbai earlier this year, the global functional fitness race HYROX is rapidly gaining traction in India. The Delhi edition, held in Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, drew over 2,600 participants — a 50% increase from its first India leg — with athletes coming from across the country and 39 other nations.
The surge in turnout reflects India’s growing appetite for high-performance, community-driven fitness formats.
The event format tested both endurance and strength across eight challenges, including sled pushes, rowing, burpee broad jumps, and wall balls — demanding both physical capability and mental resilience. As functional fitness continues to grow in popularity, HYROX is carving out space among a new generation of athletes and enthusiasts in India.
