HYROX Milan runs in early December at Fiera Milano in Rho, the city's huge exhibition grounds at the far western end of the red M1 metro line. Metro and suburban trains stop at its gates, so you can sleep in town. The weekend also runs into Milan's holidays, Sant'Ambrogio on 7 December and the Immaculate Conception on 8 December, so an extra day shows you the city at its most festive.
Checked 15 October 2026. Details change, so confirm bookings directly.

Local insights for Milan
The things a friend who lives here would tell you before race weekend.
Tap in and tap out
Metro gates take contactless cards and phone wallets; tap in and out. Rho Fiera needs a Mi1–Mi3 ticket (€2.20); a day ticket is €7.60.
Check which M1 branch you're on
The red line splits into Rho Fiera and Bisceglie branches, so check the platform display.
Monday and Tuesday are holidays
7 December is Milan's patron saint's day and 8 December is a national holiday. Expect reduced hours if you stay on.
Taxis are easiest by app
Use FREENOW or appTaxi to book licensed Milan taxis. Uber has far fewer cars here, and finding a taxi in Milan can take a while, so book early.
Eat risotto the night before
Risotto alla milanese is the local carb load. Save the ossobuco, the braised veal shank often served with it, for after the race.
Read the bill
A coperto is a per-person cover charge and servizio means service is included. Otherwise locals round up or leave 5–10 percent in cash.
Drink from the tap
Italian tap water is safe, and Milan's network is under constant controls. Refill a bottle at your hotel.
Pack for cold, damp days
December highs average about 7°C (45°F) and lows about 1°C (33°F).
Getting to Fiera Milano (Rho)
From Milan Malpensa (MXP)
Take the Malpensa Express to Milano Cadorna. The trip takes about 37 minutes, with a train every 30 minutes. At Cadorna, change to the M1 toward Rho Fiera. You can also take the Malpensa Express to Porta Garibaldi or Centrale and change to an S5, S6 or S11 suburban train to Rho Fiera.
From Milan Linate (LIN)
Take the M4 (blue) to Dateo and change to the S5 or S6 to Rho Fiera. The other option is the M4 to San Babila, then the M1 to the end of the line.
