SINGAPORE, 28 October 2026 — The global fitness racing phenomenon is set to reach new heights as AIA HYROX Singapore returns to the Singapore Expo from 26 to 29 November 2026. Marking the city’s first-ever four-day race weekend, the event will welcome over 18,500 athletes representing 92 nationalities, cementing its status as one of the largest HYROX competitions ever held in Singapore.
The November edition also signals a major milestone for hybrid racing in the region, featuring the Asia debut of AIA HYROX Youngstars Singapore, an expanded adaptive division, and qualification spots for the PUMA HYROX World Championships 2027 in Hong Kong.

Record-Breaking Field and Global Participation
With 43% of registered competitors traveling from overseas, the upcoming race weekend highlights Singapore’s position as a premier sports tourism hub in the Asia-Pacific region.
The sport's explosive mass-participation appeal is reflected on the start line:
-
Over 10,000 first-time athletes will tackle their inaugural race.
-
32 adaptive athletes are confirmed to compete—a significant rise from five adaptive racers at the previous edition.
“We’re excited to host our first-ever four-day race in Singapore, reflecting the continued growth of HYROX across the nation,” said William Petty, Regional Events Manager for S.E.A. at HYROX APAC. “AIA HYROX Youngstars Singapore makes this year’s event even more special as we continue to expand the HYROX experience and bring more people into the community.”
Asia Debut: AIA HYROX Youngstars Singapore
A major highlight of the four-day schedule is the Asian debut of HYROX Youngstars. Built specifically for youths aged 8 to 15, the division introduces the next generation to hybrid fitness through age-appropriate functional movements and running intervals.
Singapore served as the testing ground for the initial Youngstars activation in 2024, shaping the concept into a full-fledged competitive format.
“At AIA Singapore, our purpose is to enable people to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives, a commitment that naturally starts with the next generation,” said Wong Sze Keed, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Singapore. “Expanding AIA HYROX Singapore into the city’s first four-day fitness festival reflects the incredible growth of this community. By giving youths aged 8 to 15 an inclusive platform to challenge themselves, build resilience, and discover the joy of fitness, we are fostering a lifelong love for wellness that will transform generations.”
