HYROX Bangkok 2026 has closed after four days of energetic competition at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, with the venue filled with competitive atmosphere, cheering crowds, and fitness enthusiasts from around the world. This year attracted more than 20,000 registered participants.

The final day was particularly bustling as celebrities and personalities from various fields competed on the courses, surrounded by fans and supporters offering enthusiastic encouragement that filled the entire hall with color from morning through the end of competition.

Among the competitors was Thod-Piti Phirom Phakdi, an executive at Boon Rod Brewery, who competed in the doubles category with Coach Kok Khachareesil Wongma, the HYROX Brand Ambassador for Thailand. The pair completed all running and functional fitness stations across eight stations, crossing the finish line in 1 hour 15 minutes 37 seconds amid cheers from spectators.

Throughout the four-day event, many celebrities from different fields took on the challenge, including Ann Thongpraseum and James Jiracheep Tangsrisuk, Leesol Theeppathai Winothai and Grate Vorin Panhakanchon competing in the doubles category, while Takk Boribourn Chanchoeng and Jazz Chuan Chuen Phudok Sorngsaeng competed as a relay team. Nadet Kukimiya returned to challenge himself again in the individual category.

HYROX is a hybrid fitness racing competition that combines running with eight functional fitness stations, offering opportunities for athletes, celebrities, professionals, and fitness enthusiasts to compete in the same format and venue.

The atmosphere reflected not just competitive intensity but also a health-conscious community coming together—participants, supporters, and fans—making HYROX another event bridging sports and lifestyle.

HYROX Bangkok 2026 drew over 20,000 entries and concluded with four days of bustling energy before returning to Thailand in February next year.
