Over 14,000 participants expected at AIA HYROX Singapore 2026 weekend as the first-ever Friday Night Relays electrify the opening day
SINGAPORE, 4 April 2026 - Day 1 of AIA HYROX Singapore 2026 delivered a powerful start to the weekend as athletes and fans packed the arena for the launch of Singapore’s first-ever Friday Night Lights and Friday Night Relays.
Running from 3–5 April, the 2026 edition marks the largest staging of the race in Singapore, with more than 14,000 participants expected across three days of competition.
The opening day featured a full schedule of races, culminating in a high-energy evening relay showcase that transformed the competition floor into a festival atmosphere of lights, music and team spirit.
Morning Action: Doubles Athletes Kick Off the Competition
The day began with the HYROX Doubles Men Open from 9:30am to 11:40am, as pairs of athletes tackled the demanding fitness race format together.
One of the standout pairings was the Korean powerhouse duo of Beomseok Hong and Minho Choi, who reunited on the competition floor and immediately set the tone for the day with their explosive performance.
The momentum continued with the HYROX Doubles Women Open from 12:10pm to 1:20pm, where teamwork and determination were on full display.
The race showcased the strong community spirit that defines HYROX competitions — with friends, training partners and teammates pushing through the demanding stations side by side.
Women’s Open Race Highlights Strength and Community
From 1:30pm to 2:20pm, the HYROX Women Open (including Women Adaptive) category took centre stage.
The race delivered inspiring moments across the competition floor, with athletes supporting one another through the physically demanding course.
Among the standout stories was a mother-daughter duo celebrating a remarkable 60th birthday, proving that HYROX is as much about personal milestones and shared experiences as it is about competition.
Across the field, women demonstrated strength, resilience and camaraderie — embodying the spirit that strong women don’t compete against each other, they compete with each other.
Corporate Relays Bring Team Spirit to the Roxzone
The afternoon session introduced the HYROX Corporate Relays, bringing teams from workplaces onto the race floor.
The corporate races included:
Corporate Relay Women (2:50pm – 3:00pm)
Corporate Relay Mixed (3:10pm – 3:50pm)
Corporate Relay Men (4:00pm – 4:10pm)
Swapping office desks for sled pushes and wall balls, participants experienced what many described as the ultimate performance review — testing endurance, teamwork and determination in the Roxzone.
Teams crossed the finish line together, celebrating the collaborative spirit that defines relay racing.
History Made with Singapore’s First Friday Night Relays
The highlight of Day 1 arrived in the evening with the historic debut of Friday Night Relays, featuring the first-ever Friday Night Relays held in Singapore and in a stadium.
Relay races ran across three categories:
HYROX Relay Men (4:50pm – 5:20pm)
HYROX Relay Mixed (5:50pm – 7:40pm)
HYROX Relay Women (8:10pm – 8:30pm)
Under bright lights and with music energising the arena, the relays created an unforgettable atmosphere as teammates cheered each other through the demanding HYROX race format.
The evening showcase delivered unmatched energy, transforming the competition into a celebration of fitness and community.
For many athletes and spectators, the debut of Friday Night Lights marked a defining moment for HYROX events in Asia.
A Record-Breaking Weekend Underway
With Day 1 successfully launching the action, the spotlight now turns to the remaining two days of competition at AIA HYROX Singapore 2026.
Thousands more athletes will take on the standardised HYROX race — combining functional workout stations with running segments — as they chase personal bests and podium finishes.
If the opening day is any indication, the 2026 edition is set to be the biggest and most electrifying HYROX Singapore weekend yet. #HYROXSG #HYROXWorld
