HYROX Dublin 2026: Race Date, Venue & Registration

HYROX Dublin 2026

Dublin is the only HYROX race on the island of Ireland. It draws athletes from every county, plus visitors from the UK and Europe who combine racing with a trip to Dublin. The Irish fitness community has taken to the event quickly.

The RDS in Ballsbridge has a long history of hosting major events -- from the Dublin Horse Show to concerts and exhibitions. The halls have enough room for the full course, warm-up areas, and spectator zones. With a November date, athletes get the entire season to prepare, and the event has become the high point of the Irish HYROX calendar.

Getting There

By Air

• Dublin Airport (DUB) is 30-45 minutes from the city centre by Aircoach (route 700) or Dublin Express. A taxi to the RDS costs roughly €30-40. No direct rail link from the airport
• Dublin Airport has direct flights from London (multiple airports, 1h15), Manchester (1h), Glasgow (1h), Birmingham (1h), and all major European hubs

By Train

• DART (Lansdowne Road) is the closest station -- 2 minutes' walk from the RDS entrance. DART from Dublin city centre (Connolly, Tara Street, Pearse) takes under 10 minutes
• DART (Sandymount) is an alternative, 5 minutes' walk to the RDS
• Irish Rail intercity services from Cork (2h45), Galway (2h30), Belfast (2h), Limerick (2h30), and Waterford arrive at Heuston or Connolly. Connect to DART from Connolly or Tara Street
• Use a Leap card for discounted fares on DART and Dublin Bus

By Public Transport

• DART is the best option. Lansdowne Road station is adjacent to the RDS, with services every 5-15 minutes from the city centre
• Dublin Bus routes 4, 7, 7A, and 18 serve Ballsbridge. Bus stops on Merrion Road and Pembroke Road are close to the venue
• Luas (tram) -- the Green Line runs to St Stephen's Green, from where you can walk (20 min) or take a bus to Ballsbridge

By Car

• M50 / N11: From the M50 ring road, take the N11 (Stillorgan Road) north towards the city centre. Exit for Ballsbridge / Merrion Road
• Parking: The RDS has on-site parking but it is limited during large events. Arrive early or pre-book if available
• Alternative parking: Sandymount, Donnybrook, or city centre car parks with DART access
• DART is strongly recommended. Parking in Ballsbridge is limited and surrounding streets have resident permit restrictions

By Ferry

• Dublin Port -- Irish Ferries and Stena Line from Holyhead (Wales, 3h15 fast ferry). 20 minutes from the RDS by taxi or bus
• Dun Laoghaire -- Stena Line from Holyhead (some services). DART to Lansdowne Road takes 15 minutes
• Rosslare has ferries from Fishguard and Pembroke (Wales), about a 2-hour drive to Dublin

Where to Stay

Dublin has accommodation for all budgets, though hotel prices in the city can be higher than other UK and Irish cities. Booking early secures better rates.

• Ballsbridge -- closest to the RDS. InterContinental Dublin, Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge, and Sandymount Hotel are all within walking distance. Premium but convenient
• City Centre (Temple Bar / Grafton Street) has the widest selection. 20-minute DART ride to the RDS. Options include Generator Dublin, Staycity Aparthotels, Premier Inn Dublin, and boutique hotels on Harcourt Street
• Grand Canal Dock is a modern waterfront area with hotels like the Spencer and Maldron, a short DART ride to Lansdowne Road
• Dun Laoghaire, a seaside suburb south of Dublin, has affordable options and a 15-minute DART ride to the RDS. Good for a quieter stay

Tip: Dublin hotels fill up for big events and weekends. Book as early as possible after securing your race entry. Ballsbridge hotels are the most convenient but the DART makes the city centre equally viable.

Training in Dublin

Dublin's functional fitness community has grown fast. CrossFit boxes are well established, and several gyms now run HYROX preparation classes.

• CrossFit South Dublin is a well-equipped box in the south suburbs with a growing HYROX community

Running Routes

• Phoenix Park -- one of the largest enclosed urban parks in Europe. Flat paths and open space. 5-15km options, parkrun every Saturday at the Furry Glen
• Sandymount Strand is close to the RDS. Low tide reveals a wide stretch of firm sand with views across Dublin Bay
• Grand Canal / Royal Canal -- flat towpath running through the city. Traffic-free and well-surfaced, 5-10km in either direction from the city centre
