VERIFIED EVENT DETAILS · DAILY CHORE EDITORIAL COMMENTARY
A continuous hybrid fitness competition
On August 15, 2026, ATHX comes to Copenhagen. At Bella Center (Center Boulevard 5, 2300 København), individual athletes and two-person teams compete in a roughly 2.5-hour hybrid fitness competition. ATHX Copenhagen combines heavy strength training, running/rowing intervals and functional fitness movements in a clearly structured format with fixed warm-up, refuel and recovery zones.
Three divisions, one format
- ATHX Lite — for a first hybrid competition, reduced loads, accessible entry
- ATHX — demanding strength, run/row and MetCon elements, solo or paired
- ATHX Pro — longer endurance intervals, heavier sandbags/dumbbells, higher boxes, for experienced hybrid athletes
You can start Individual or as Pairs (Male, Female, Mixed). Heats run between 08:00 and 18:00, selectable at registration.
