RoxSkin is not affiliated with HYROX. - **Dates:** 3–6 Dec 2026 - **City:** Anaheim, United States - **Venue:** Anaheim Convention Center - **Address:** 800 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802 - **Divisions:** Open (singles), Pro (singles), Doubles, Pro Doubles, Relay, Adaptive - **Tickets:** on sale (official site: https://hyrox.com/) ## Race weekend guide (checked 2026-10-15) Centr HYROX Anaheim fills the West Coast's largest convention center, across Katella Avenue from the Disneyland Resort, in early December: mild days, cool mornings and the resort in full holiday mode. The one thing to know is that the ART resort shuttles shut down on 31 March 2026, so ignore older guides that tell you to ride them. ### Race weekend at a glance - **Dates:** Thursday 3 December to Sunday 6 December 2026 - **Venue:** Anaheim Convention Center - **Address:** 800 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802 - **Nearest public transport:** OCTA bus Route 50 (Katella Avenue) and Route 43 (Harbor Boulevard) both stop at the convention center and Disneyland. The nearest rail station is ARTIC, 2626 E Katella Ave, a Route 50 ride east. - **Divisions:** Open and Pro singles, Doubles, Pro Doubles, Relay and Adaptive - **Also on site:** HYROX Youngstars on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December in the same venue ### Getting to the venue **From John Wayne Airport (SNA):** About 24 km (15 miles) from the resort. Taxis, Lyft and the Karmel Connect shuttle pick up at the Ground Transportation Center near baggage claim; ask taxis for a flat rate. On a budget, take OCTA Route 76 west to Harbor Boulevard, then Route 43 north. **From Los Angeles International (LAX):** About 64 km (40 miles) away, so book a shuttle, Karmel Connect or a rideshare. The cheap transit route (rail east to Norwalk, then Express Line 460) takes several transfers. **From Long Beach Airport (LGB) and by train:** Long Beach is about 21 km (13 miles) away, and taxis often quote a flat rate. If you arrive on Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner or Metrolink at ARTIC, take OCTA Route 50 west along Katella Avenue to the convention center. ### Where to stay Stay in the Anaheim Resort district around the convention center so you can walk to the start. The Disney hotels suit a holiday add-on, and Garden Grove, just south, is cheaper but less walkable. - **Hilton Anaheim:** Orange County's largest hotel, at 777 W Convention Way right beside the convention center, with a Starbucks on site for early starts. - **Anaheim Marriott:** About 150 m (0.1 miles) from the convention center on Convention Way. - **Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort:** Roughly 500 m (0.3 miles) away across Harbor Boulevard, and on the new paid campus shuttle to Disneyland. - **Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa:** Has its own entrance into Disney California Adventure, three pools and the Tenaya Stone Spa for recovery. - **Hyatt Regency Orange County:** A value option in Garden Grove about 2.3 km (1.4 miles) from the convention center, so plan on a rideshare on race day. ### Gyms for pre-race training - **Hilton Anaheim (Anaheim Resort):** ResortPass sells day passes here from about $25, and the hotel lists a gym. Confirm the pass includes gym access before you buy. - **Hyatt Regency Orange County (Garden Grove):** Another ResortPass day-pass option from about $22, with a gym listed. Check what's included first. - **ClubSport Aliso Viejo (Aliso Viejo):** Runs HYROX classes and is building a training group specifically for the Anaheim race. It offers a free HYROX trial class, but no day pass is listed. You'll need a car. ### Where locals run - **Anaheim Coves (Santa Ana River):** A city park along the river between Ball Road and Frontera Street with about 4 km (2.5 miles) of paved, flat, accessible trail. The full out-and-back is about 7.9 km (4.9 miles). A short rideshare east of the resort; busy from 5 p.m. to sunset. - **Santa Ana River Trail (Santa Ana River):** The paved path beside the Coves runs about 48 km (30 miles) from Huntington Beach to the county line, so add easy kilometers either way. ### Where to eat and fuel up - **Din Tai Fung (Downtown Disney District):** Taiwanese soup dumplings, noodles and fried rice. An easy carb-heavy dinner the night before. - **Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill (Downtown Disney District):** At 1590 S Disneyland Dr, the former Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen serves Gulf- and Pacific-inspired coastal cooking. Open from 11 a.m. (10:30 a.m. on Sundays), so save it for after the race. - **Anaheim Packing House (Center City):** A food hall at 440 S Anaheim Blvd. Choose URBANA for Mexican food, Georgia's for soul food, or Randy's Donuts for a post-race treat. - **Porto's Bakery & Café (Buena Park):** This Cuban bakery at 7640 Beach Blvd opens at 6:30 a.m. daily, early enough for a race-morning pastry and coffee. ### Race weekend events and parties As of 15 October 2026, no official after-party or community run had been announced. HYROX Youngstars runs in the same hall on 5 and 6 December. Disneyland's holiday season runs 13 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, and the Anaheim Ducks host Seattle on Friday 4 December (7 p.m.) and Winnipeg on Sunday 6 December (5 p.m.) at Honda Center. Watch HYROX's official channels for late additions. ### After the race **Recovery:** - **Tenaya Stone Spa (Disneyland Resort):** The full-service spa at the Grand Californian, offering massages and body treatments. Book ahead in holiday season. - **ResortPass hotel day passes (Anaheim Resort):** Several Anaheim hotels sell same-day pool and amenity access, so you can soak your legs without booking a room. **Things to do:** - Watch **A Christmas Fantasy Parade** at **Disneyland Park**, which runs during the holiday season. - Catch a Ducks game at **Honda Center** on Friday or Sunday night. - Graze through the **Anaheim Packing District** in Center City. - Browse the shops and restaurants of **Downtown Disney District**. ### Local insights - **ART is gone:** Anaheim Resort Transportation ended all service on 31 March 2026. Hilton Anaheim, Anaheim Marriott, Clarion and Sheraton Park guests now have a paid campus shuttle to Disneyland, reported at $6 a day. It doesn't serve ARTIC. - **Tap your card on OC Bus:** OCTA's single fare is $2. Tap a contactless card and you stop paying after $5 in a day, or after $4.50 on a Wave card or Wave app account. You also get free two-hour transfers. Cash fares get neither, and buses no longer sell day passes on board. - **Weekend trains are sparse:** Metrolink's Orange County Line runs only two trains each way at ARTIC on Saturdays and Sundays. - **December is mild but cool at night:** Average highs are about 21°C (71°F) and lows about 9°C (48°F). It's one of Anaheim's wetter months at about 51 mm of rain, so pack a warm layer and a shell. - **Holiday crowds are real:** With Disney's holiday season on and the parks right across the street, hotels and restaurants in the resort area are busy. Book dinner tables early. - **Little Arabia is a local favorite:** Brookhurst Street in western Anaheim is Orange County's Arab American hub, full of bakeries and restaurants. ### Race-day tips for this venue - **Walk if you're staying on Convention Way.** The Hilton and Marriott are next to the halls, so you avoid event parking entirely. - **Bring ID to check in.** Nobody can check in for you, and registration opens 90 minutes before your division's first start wave. - **Check your start time three days out.** Individual start times are published about three days before the race and can't be changed. - **Use one spectator ticket for both.** Your spectator ticket also covers the Youngstars races on 5 and 6 December in the same venue. - **Pack a warm layer.** December mornings can be around 9°C (48°F), so bring something to wear before and after your heat. ### FAQ ### How do I get to the Anaheim Convention Center from the airport?
