WHY THIS CHORE
SHOW UP READY.
Built explicitly as the accessible answer to HYROX — "we wanted to bring fitness racing to the wider public" — and it's working: growing fields, a full five-stop series, and now an international finale.

Why It's Worth Watching
TRYKA launched to fill a gap its founders saw clearly: "many people love the idea of hybrid fitness racing, but feel it's out of reach — too intense, too exclusive." Built with accessibility and community at the centre, it's grown from a single Dublin race into a five-stop international series in its debut season — culminating in this Lisbon finale.
The Format
Running intervals alternate with functional workout stations across two main distances: the full TRYKA (800) and the shorter TRYKA 500. Categories include Men's, Women's, Mixed Doubles, Relay (team of 4), and Adaptive divisions across both distances.
The Season
TRYKA's 2025–26 series ran through five events — Dublin races through the year, a London stop in September 2026 — before converging on this Grand Finale in Lisbon. Performances across the season feed into overall league standings.
Who It's For
First-timers and gym-goers who want the structure and atmosphere of a hybrid fitness race without the intensity or scarcity of major HYROX events, alongside more competitive athletes chasing season-long league standings.
Getting There
Lisbon is well served by international flights, making the finale an easy add-on to a city-break weekend.
