What it takes to conquer a HYROX competition

Last month, hundreds of athletes gathered at the Cape Town International Convention Centre for HYROX Cape Town 2026. Kenyan trainer Reggie Mboya finished first in the men's open category with a time of one hour and nine minutes. The HYROX competition combines running with functional training, featuring workout stations designed to test participants' resilience. Reggie had to reshape his body and lifestyle for preparation, losing seven kilograms and training twice daily.
