Leapmotor HYROX Barcelona brings five days of racing to Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the city's big trade-fair complex in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, just southwest of the center. The venue's metro line runs straight from the airport, so getting from arrivals to check-in is easy. Mild November weather makes it a good excuse to stay an extra day and enjoy the city once your legs recover.
Checked 15 October 2026. Details change, so confirm bookings directly.

Local insights for Barcelona
The things a friend who lives here would tell you before race weekend.
The airport metro has its own ticket
The two airport stations on L9 Sud need a separate Airport ticket, listed at €5.90 in 2026 guides. The 10-trip T-casual card won't open the gates there, so don't buy one expecting it to cover your arrival.
Taxis and apps
Official taxis are black and yellow, with a green light when free, and they must take cards. FREE NOW has the biggest taxi fleet, and Uber also books licensed taxis. Cabify uses private-hire cars, which a new Catalan taxi law aims to restrict, so don't rely on it.
Mind your bag
Pickpockets work crowded metro trains, stations, La Rambla and the Raval. Watch for staged distractions such as someone "accidentally" spilling something on you.
Sunday closures
By law, most shops and malls close on Sundays. If you race on Sunday 15 November, stock up on snacks and recovery food on Saturday.
Eat on local time
Many restaurants serve a set lunch menu from about 14:00 to 16:00 and then close until 20:00. Plan your pre-race meal around that gap.
Pharmacies
Look for the green neon cross. Pharmacists are well trained and can give advice on minor problems.
November weather
Expect highs around 18°C (64°F) and lows near 12°C (54°F) in the city, with only about five rainy days and plenty of sunshine. The sea is still about 17°C (63°F).
Getting to Fira Barcelona Gran Via
From Barcelona–El Prat Airport
Metro L9 Sud runs directly from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to Fira and Europa|Fira, both right next to the venue, with no changes. Fira Barcelona says the line runs daily from early morning until midnight, with all-night service on weekends. Bus 46 is another direct option, and taxis can drop you at the venue's taxi ranks.
From the city center
From Plaça d'Espanya, FGC suburban trains (lines including S4, S8, R5 and R6) stop at Europa|Fira. From elsewhere in the city, transfer to L9 Sud from the regular metro network. Several city buses, including the H12 and V1, also stop near the venue. Use the TMB or FGC journey planner to check your route.
Race-weekend events
Parties, expos and side events
The confirmed extras are the on-site HYROX Entertainment Zone and the Thunderdome, where spectators can watch the racing all day. As of 15 October 2026, no official after-party, expo or community run had been announced. Check HYROX's official channels and local run clubs as race week gets closer.
