This is what one of the participants told us about last year's events:

"I’ve completed three HYROX events and even won my age category in the Pro Doubles. That said, I honestly enjoyed RugbyRox more. The atmosphere was fantastic, the people were friendly, and it was just as challenging — with the added bonus of being outdoors. It was also easier to get tickets and more affordable overall." - Rich, Burgess Hill.
