Most racers can walk from their hotel to the start line, so the main thing to plan is staying warm on cold December mornings. ### Race weekend at a glance - **Dates:** Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 December 2026 - **Venue:** Music City Center - **Address:** 201 Rep. John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203 - **Nearest public transport:** WeGo Central bus station (400 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd), roughly a 20-minute walk north - **Divisions:** HYROX Men and Women, Adaptive Men and Women, Doubles (Men, Women, Mixed), Pro Men and Women, Pro Doubles (Men and Women), and Men's, Women's and Mixed Relays - **Also on site:** The HYROX Entertainment Zone with event partners, and the Thunderdome viewing area ### Getting to the venue **From Nashville International Airport (BNA):** WeGo Route 18 costs $2 from the Ground Transportation Center, Level 1 of the Terminal 2 Garage. Express trips take about 20 minutes, local trips 35 to 45, ending at WeGo Central downtown. **By taxi or ride-hail from BNA:** Taxis charge a $30 flat fare to downtown, plus $2 per extra passenger. Uber and Lyft pick up on Level 1 of Terminal Garage 2 (Lyft Zone A, Uber Zones B and C). **By car:** The venue garage (701 Demonbreun St) is entered at 7th Avenue and Demonbreun or from 6th Avenue. Standard rates run from $15 for up to 5 hours to $45 overnight, with no re-entry. ### Where to stay Downtown and **SoBro** (South of Broadway) put you minutes from the venue. **The Gulch**, just southwest, is calmer and has good breakfast spots. - **Omni Nashville Hotel:** It's at 250 Rep. John Lewis Way S, right beside the venue, with a spa and a hot tub. - **Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown:** It's next to the venue and includes a cooked-to-order breakfast. - **Residence Inn Nashville Downtown/Convention Center:** It's about 300 m away, with full kitchens for cooking your own pre-race meals. - **Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown:** It's about 300 m away, with an indoor pool. - **The Westin Nashville:** It's on the Gulch side of the venue, and its spa has a sauna and steam room. ### Gyms for pre-race training - **Nashville Performance Club (Hillsboro Village):** Opened in April 2026 with Eleiko kit, a sauna and three cold plunges. Its launch announcement mentioned HYROX race programming, which its own site doesn't confirm. There's no day pass, but new visitors can apply for a free training and recovery session. - **Downtown YMCA (Downtown):** At 1000 Church St, with an indoor track, free weights, a sauna and a steam room. Day-pass availability isn't listed, so call 615-254-0631 first. - **Barry's Nashville (The Gulch):** Fifty-minute classes alternate treadmill intervals with dumbbell work, a handy opener, though it's not a HYROX gym. First-timer offers are online. ### Where locals run - **Cumberland River Greenway (Downtown):** This paved, fairly flat riverside path starts at the Country Music Hall of Fame, across the street from the venue, and runs about 5.6 km north. - **John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge (Downtown):** Cross to the East Bank, loop through Cumberland Park and come back: a short shakeout with skyline views. - **Centennial Park (West End):** A flat, paved 1.6 km loop past Lake Watauga, a short ride west along West End Avenue. ### Where to eat and fuel up - **Arnold's Country Kitchen (Downtown):** A classic meat-and-three a few blocks from the venue. Pick one meat and three sides for a big carb-heavy lunch. Open weekdays 10:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. - **Biscuit Love (The Gulch):** Scratch-made biscuits make an easy, carb-forward breakfast before a late-morning wave. - **Hattie B's Hot Chicken (Lower Broadway):** A short walk from the venue. Hot chicken is the post-race treat; order a mild heat level if a flight is ahead. - **City House (Germantown):** Pasta and pizza for a carb-load dinner. It opens at 5 p.m. and is closed on Tuesdays. ### Race weekend events and parties As of 15 October 2026, no official after-party, expo or community run had been announced for HYROX Nashville. The confirmed extras are the on-site Entertainment Zone and the Thunderdome; the age-group ceremony schedule is still to be announced. Watch HYROX's official channels for news. ### After the race **Recovery:** - **Framework (Wedgewood-Houston):** Seven saunas and thirteen cold tubs just south of downtown; a first-timer pack is five sessions for $79. **Things to do:** - Visit the **Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum** across the street, open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Walk the **John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge** at dusk for the best view of the downtown skyline. - See **Holiday LIGHTS at Cheekwood**, the botanical garden's light display, from 4:30 p.m. through 3 January. - Go to **A Country Christmas at Gaylord Opryland**, running through 2 January. ### Local insights - **Bus fare is $2, and Amex won't work:** WeGo takes contactless cards, mobile wallets, the QuickTicket app or exact cash, but not American Express. A tap buys a 2-hour pass, so transfers are free. - **Taxi beats surge pricing:** The $30 airport flat rate is set by Metro rules, while Uber and Lyft can cost more at busy times. - **Tax and tip aren't in the price:** Sales tax is added at the till (November's food tax cut covers groceries, not restaurants), and servers expect 18 to 20%. - **Tap water is safe:** Metro Water Services says it meets all federal and state standards. - **Eat a meat-and-three:** Nashville's plate lunch of one meat and three sides, often mac and cheese, potatoes and cornbread, is the local carb load. - **Buy gels before Sunday:** Fleet Feet Green Hills (3900 Hillsboro Pike) opens only noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. - **It gets cold:** December averages 11°C (52°F) by day and 1°C (33°F) at night, so bring a warm layer for early waves. - **No Titans home game on Sunday:** The Titans play at Detroit on 13 December, so there are no stadium crowds across the river. ### Race-day tips for this venue - **Bring ID and come early.** On-site registration opens 90 minutes before your division's first start time. You can't check in for anyone else. - **Check your start time.** Start times appear about three days before and can't be changed. - **Get spectator tickets.** Friends and family need one, and athletes can only watch on their own race day. - **Know your day.** Relays and Pro singles are on Friday, Pro Doubles on Saturday evening. - **Walk if you can.** Special-event garage rates may apply, and downtown hotels are a short walk away. ### FAQ ### How do I get from Nashville airport to Music City Center?
