HYROX at Be Urban Running: this is how we experienced our training sessions, product tests, and events with the community
A few years ago, it was hard to imagine that a discipline like HYROX would grow so fast. Today, however, it has become one of the most popular sports phenomena of the moment. Runners, functional training athletes, and new challenge enthusiasts have found in this format a different way to compete and train.
And, as expected, at Be Urban Running, we wanted to be part of this adventure.
Over the past few months, we've had the pleasure of sharing training sessions, product testing, and very special events with sports clubs, training centers, and some of the most important brands in the sector. Murcia, Alicante, and Elche have been the settings for gatherings where we have witnessed something we love: the HYROX community continues to grow.
Much more than just running: this is what a HYROX training session is like
Anyone who has tried HYROX knows that it is not like a traditional race. Here, it's not just about running fast. Each kilometer is combined with workout stations that demand strength, endurance, and the ability to keep pushing when your legs start to feel heavy.
Precisely for this reason, training with others and sharing the experience with other athletes makes everything much more fun. And that is exactly what we have tried to convey in each of our events.
Murcia: an afternoon of effort, competition, and good vibes with 30RUNCLUB
One of the first gatherings took place in Murcia, where we organized a special session with 30RUNCLUB.
Participants enjoyed a HYROX-inspired training session with different workout stations and challenges that tested the endurance of all attendees. In addition, we had the collaboration of Rebdull, which allowed participants to learn about and try some of their products.
As is often the case at these events, the final competition and raffles were the perfect excuse to end an afternoon filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the desire to do it again.
HYROX Alicante by Brooks and Be Urban Running with Sportclub Alicante
If there was one particularly intense day, it was the one we experienced in Alicante with Sportclub Alicante and Brooks.
From the very beginning, that atmosphere we love so much was palpable. Athletes of different levels sharing training, a desire to improve, and a lot of curiosity to try one of Brooks' most anticipated models.
Attendees had the opportunity to train with the new Brooks Hyperion 3, a shoe that surprised them with its lightness and how easily it adapts to a demanding discipline like HYROX.
Because in this type of event, the shoe must perform well both during the running kilometers and in functional exercises where stability and agility are fundamental.
The day ended with a team competition and several raffles organized by Brooks, putting the finishing touch on a spectacular afternoon.
Elche: Puma and Body Life Center, a perfect combination
The HYROX community also had a great event in Elche. Together with Body Life Center and Puma, we organized a day where participants could alternate running and functional exercises very similar to those found in an official competition.
In addition to enjoying the training, many attendees took the opportunity to try some of the German brand's most interesting models in a real environment. After all, it's one thing to see a shoe on a shelf, and quite another to see how it performs when transitions, accelerations, and accumulated fatigue start to set in.
The best thing about these events isn't always the shoes. Yes, we love talking about products. And yes, trying a shoe before buying it is an incredible experience. But if there's one thing we take away from each of these days, it's the atmosphere.
The conversations before starting, the jokes during training, the feeling of overcoming challenges as a team, and the final comment of "when are we doing the next one?" are probably what makes these gatherings special.
Which shoes do we currently recommend for HYROX?
Choosing a shoe for HYROX is not always easy. Ultimately, it's a very particular discipline where we look for a combination of dynamism, stability, and responsiveness.
These are some of the options we currently like the most:
| Model | Highlights |
| Brooks Hyperion 3 | Lightweight and fast |
| Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 | Great balance between responsiveness and comfort |
| Puma Deviate Nitro 4 | Stability and excellent traction |
Brooks Hyperion 3
The Hyperion 3 has become a favorite for intense training and HYROX competitions. It is a lightweight and very dynamic shoe, perfect for those looking for speed without sacrificing good stability.
Saucony Endorphin Speed 5
The Endorphin Speed 5 is one of the most versatile shoes on the market. Its combination of cushioning and reactivity makes it a great companion for those who alternate running and functional exercises.
Puma Deviate Nitro 4
Thanks to its balance of cushioning, grip, and stability, the Deviate Nitro 4 is another of the most interesting options for those looking for a shoe capable of performing in all the scenarios that HYROX presents.
According to our Marketing expert Alberto Navarro…
"These types of events are so special. They allow us to share experiences, test equipment in real conditions, and continue building a community that keeps growing."
We continue to prepare new experiences
The reception of all these events has been spectacular and, honestly, it makes us want to continue.
We will continue to organize new events with brands, clubs, and sports centers so that more and more athletes can discover HYROX, try the latest innovations, and enjoy the sport surrounded by an incredible community.
Because in the end, beyond the times or classifications, that's what truly makes this sport special. And this is just the beginning.
