Hyrox Paris Grand Palais 2026: Mark Your Calendars for April 20th
In a few days, the legendary Grand Palais in Paris will once again host an Hyrox event. It will run from Thursday, April 23rd to Sunday, April 26th, and we will provide extensive coverage of the event, introducing you to the athletes to watch, summarizing the action, and delivering results from as many races as possible.
Last year, we notably remember the highly popular duo Alan Cao and Thomas Fry setting the floor ablaze with an exceptional performance. This year, the best French Hyroxers have once again gathered and are preparing to reach their peak form for the occasion.
We will also be following Willy Georges, the former French CrossFit® number 1, who is embarking on a very promising career transition. He plans to compete in both the solo and duo categories with a big name from CrossFit®.
In 2025, the magical and highly Instagrammable venue triggered a media wave in both traditional media and on social networks, marking a boom for the discipline in France.
This had an impact both on the masses, with events selling out in a few hours or even minutes, and an explosion in the number of alternative events taking place almost every week in France. But also at the elite level, with performances skyrocketing, placing France among the countries where the level is most dense, even if we don't yet have a headliner capable of aiming for victories in the Elite 15.
A year later, it's safe to say that everything has changed for Hyrox in France, and the entire fitness racing community is eager to return to this event. Also, to measure the impact this date will have again, as it is set to establish itself on the global calendar.
Not to mention that a few kilometers away, the first ATHX event in France will take place. Far from being a competitor to Hyrox, it's also a way to open up the world of fitness racing to an even wider audience, particularly those who want to better emphasize strength.
