Six months after it hosted the HYROX World Championships, Strawberry Arena in Solna, Sweden's national football stadium just north of the city, welcomes age-group racers for four days in mid-December. Solna station is a 10-minute walk away and seven minutes by train from Stockholm City. Plan around the dark: December gets only about six hours of daylight, so fit your shakeout run and sightseeing into the middle of the day.
Checked 15 October 2026. Details change, so confirm bookings directly.

Local insights for Stockholm
The things a friend who lives here would tell you before race weekend.
Transit tickets
An SL single ticket costs SEK 43 and is valid for 75 minutes. You can tap a contactless bank card at the metro and commuter-train barriers. You can't pay cash on buses, and riding without a ticket costs SEK 1,500 if you're checked.
Leave the cash at home
Stockholm is largely cash-free, and many restaurants, shops and hotels don't take notes or coins. Strawberry Arena itself is fully cashless.
Plan for the dark
December averages about six hours of daylight and only 33 hours of sunshine all month. Run around midday, and wear something reflective after dark.
December weather
Expect highs around 2.5°C (36.5°F) and lows around −1.2°C (29.8°F). Paths can be icy, so bring warm layers and shoes with some grip.
Lussekatter for fuel
Mid-December is saffron-bun season. Lussekatter are served with gingerbread and glögg (mulled wine) around Lucia. They make a good carb snack; save the glögg for after.
Taxis
Fares aren't regulated. Check the yellow price sticker on the rear window, or book via Uber, Bolt, Taxi Stockholm or Taxi 020 to see the price first.
Celebration drinks
Wine and spirits are sold only at Systembolaget, which closes early on Saturday and stays shut on Sunday. Buy your post-race bottle by Saturday afternoon.
Getting to Strawberry Arena
From Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN)
SL commuter line 40 runs from Arlanda Central Station (SkyCity, between Terminals 4 and 5) through Solna with no change, usually every 30 minutes. The SEK 157 Arlanda station fee isn't in the normal SL fare: buy a ticket that includes it, or pay at the SkyCity gates. The Arlanda Express reaches Stockholm Central in 18 minutes, then you take a commuter train back out to Solna. A taxi takes about 40 minutes.
From Stockholm City and Odenplan
Commuter trains reach Solna station in about 7 minutes from Stockholm City and 4 minutes from Odenplan. Use the north exit. On the metro, take the blue line to Näckrosen or Solna centrum and walk 15 to 20 minutes.
By taxi or Uber
Official pick-up points are at Råsta Strandväg 16, behind the Comfort Hotel, and Skridskogatan 1, by Solna Simhall. Mall parking fills up on event days.
Race-weekend events
Parties, expos and side events
As of 15 October 2026, no official after-party, expo or community run had been announced for HYROX Stockholm. The confirmed extra is the HYROX Entertainment Zone with event partners. Sunday 13 December is Lucia, when choirs in white sing in churches and concert halls across Stockholm, at both free and ticketed events. Check HYROX's channels closer to race week.
