HYROX Dublin takes over the RDS in leafy Ballsbridge for five days in mid-November, a short DART hop south of the city centre. Expect cool, damp weather and a neighbourhood where you can walk from hotel to start line. The one thing to know: Ireland play Fiji at the Aviva Stadium down the road on Saturday 14 November, so book early and expect crowds.

Local insights for Dublin
The things a friend who lives here would tell you before race weekend.
Get a Leap Card
Buses, DART and Luas run on the TFI Leap Card, cheaper than cash. Buy a Leap Visitor Card for unlimited travel at Dublin Airport; its clock starts on first use. Bank-card tapping isn't planned network-wide until around 2028.
Uber means taxis here
Uber only books licensed taxis here. FREE NOW is the most-used app and Bolt the cheaper alternative; install two.
Rugby Saturday crowds
With Ireland v Fiji on Saturday 14 November, expect busy trains at Lansdowne Road; use Sandymount or walk.
Pack for wet and cold
November averages highs around 11°C (52°F), lows around 6°C (43°F) and rain on about 12 days. Bring dry clothes for after.
Tipping
About 10% at table service is normal but optional; check for a service charge first.
Mind the tide
The tide on Sandymount Strand changes quickly, so stick to the promenade and wall.
Park hours are short in November
Herbert Park shuts in the early evening, so run in daylight.
Getting to Royal Dublin Society (RDS)
From Dublin Airport
Aircoach route 702 runs via Ballsbridge and, per the RDS, stops on Merrion Road in front of the main entrance. It runs hourly at peak times, so check the timetable. A taxi from the Arrivals rank costs roughly €30 to €40.
From the city centre
Take the DART south to Lansdowne Road or Sandymount, both a short walk away. From Sandymount, walk up Sandymount Avenue to the lights by the Clayton Hotel and continue straight onto Simmonscourt Road. Buses 4, 7, 7a, 18 and S2 also serve the RDS.
From Heuston
Take the Luas Red Line to Connolly and change to the DART. No Luas line goes to the RDS.
