HYROX is coming back to Melbourne for the FOURTH time 🎉. Mark your calendars for December 5-7, 2025.
With the fast rise of top HYROX athletes James Kelly & Joanna Wietrzyk, as well as Tia Clair Toomey throwing her hat in the ring (in a very serious way), Australia is a popular place for HYROX.
HYROX has officially announced a 3-day Melbourne event from December 5-7, 2025 (Friday-Sunday).
Location: TBA. They have not released the location yet, but we’ll update you here as soon as its released. Previous events have been held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, and we suspect the 2025 event will be as well.

There were actually two HYROX events in Melbourne in 2024—one in June and another in December.
June 29-30, 2024
Over 6,600 athletes competed throughout the weekend at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, and 75 World Championship slots were on the line for various age groups. All HYROX divisions were available—Open, Pro, Doubles, Pro Doubles, and Relay.
December 14-15, 2024
The second event took place on December 14-15, 2024 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. This was the first qualifying race for the new Elite 15 Pro Doubles category that HYROX announced earlier in the year.
In addition to the individual Elite 15 showdown at HYROX World Championships, HYROX announced that it will host an Elite 15 Pro Doubles race with prize money as well. The top 3 male & female Pro Doubles teams qualified.
Men’s Pro Doubles Qualifiers
- Chris Woolley & Tom Rodgers
- Tanguy Cruz & Daniel Payne
- Pieter Maes & Tom Franssens
Women’s Pro Doubles Qualifiers
- Nicola-Georgia Macbeth & Gabrielle Nikora-Baker
- Meg Martin & Maddison Biggs

This event also saw CrossFit veterans Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr and James Newbury take on the Mixed Doubles division on HYROX Melbourne. They finished in 3rd place in a really tight race for the top 5 spots.
