Asia's Largest HYROX Fitness Competition Comes to Bangkok
Over 22,000 participants are expected to compete in Asia's largest HYROX fitness event, coming to Bangkok August 13–16, 2025 at Siri Kiti National Convention Centre.
Global fitness competition HYROX is expanding its presence in Asia and will hold a major event, BYD HYROX Bangkok, from August 13–16, 2025, at Siri Kiti National Convention Centre. The event is expected to attract more than 22,000 participants, both Thai and international, marking the largest HYROX competition ever held in Asia. Currently, HYROX operates in over 30 countries across various regions, hosting more than 100 events in the 2025–26 season with over 1 million participants spanning all five continents. The Asia-Pacific region is one of HYROX's fastest-growing markets, with 17 events scheduled across major cities this year.
Gary Wan, HYROX Asia-Pacific General Manager, stated that this competition will be the largest in Asia's HYROX history and represents a major milestone for growth not only in Bangkok but across the entire Asia-Pacific region. Bangkok's status as a vibrant, culturally rich city with international appeal continues to attract participants from around the world, making it an ideal host for the second HYROX event in Thailand this year, following the previous event in March that drew nearly 17,500 participants.
HYROX's growth is evident in Bangkok's expansion from a 3-day to a 4-day event, reflecting increasing demand from both competitors and Thailand's fitness community. The organization has built a strong fitness ecosystem in Thailand through partnerships with over 170 gyms nationwide, with more than 100 in Bangkok, providing training programs and resources to enable gym operators to offer official HYROX training and develop as fitness community centers.
Gary Wan praised Siri Kiti National Convention Centre as the perfect venue for this major competition, noting that the venue's historic and distinctive character will enable a complete HYROX experience. Surapol Utinthatu, Chief Executive Officer of Siri Kiti National Convention Centre, added that the event is expected to attract athletes and participants globally, boosting tourism and the broader economy. The venue is committed to serving as a platform for large-scale international events that connect people worldwide to growing sports and lifestyle communities.
HYROX plans to continue expanding in Asia-Pacific, with Thailand positioned as a key regional market. The organization is also preparing to extend into new Southeast Asian markets, including Kuala Lumpur.
