# HYROX São Paulo 2027 > Race page on RoxSkin: https://roxskin.io/races/hyrox-sao-paulo-2027. Race facts checked against the official HYROX site on 2026-10-15. RoxSkin is not affiliated with HYROX. - **Dates:** 8–9 May 2027 - **City:** São Paulo, Brazil - **Tickets:** unknown (official site: https://hyrox.com/) ## Race weekend guide (checked 2026-10-18) São Paulo gets a second HYROX of the season in early May, when the city's autumn brings mild days, cool nights and less rain than the summer storms. It's Brazil's food capital and a serious fitness town. The one thing to know: as of 18 October 2026 the venue hadn't been confirmed. The October 2026 race was at Distrito Anhembi in Santana, and one tracker expects a return there, but book refundable rooms until HYROX confirms. ### Race weekend at a glance - **Dates:** Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 May 2027 - **Venue:** Venue to be confirmed. The October 2026 São Paulo race was held in Expo halls 1 and 2 at Distrito Anhembi, and one independent tracker lists Distrito Anhembi as "TBC" for May. - **Address:** To be confirmed. For reference, Distrito Anhembi is at Av. Olavo Fontoura, 1209, Santana, São Paulo, SP, 02012-021. - **Nearest public transport:** If the race returns to Anhembi: Portuguesa-Tietê on Metro Line 1-Blue, about 1.5 km away. Big Anhembi events often run a free shuttle from the station. - **Divisions:** Not yet published as of 18 October 2026. ### Getting to the venue **From Guarulhos Airport (GRU):** CPTM Line 13-Jade links the airport to the city. An Airport-Express train runs once an hour direct to Luz, where you can change to Metro Line 1-Blue for Portuguesa-Tietê, three stops north. Airport shuttle buses also run to Tietê, Barra Funda and Paulista. Official taxis sell fixed fares at a booth in arrivals, but traffic can stretch the trip to two hours at peak times. **From Congonhas Airport (CGH):** It's much closer to the city. Take a ride-hail car, or the metro to São Judas station and then a short bus. **By taxi or app:** At Anhembi in 2026, the venue asked taxis and app cars to drop off and pick up on Rua Professor Milton Rodrigues, not on the main avenue. ### Where to stay If the race stays at Anhembi, **Santana and the Center Norte area** keep you closest, with big business hotels and easy Line 1 access. **Paulista and Jardins** put you in the middle of the city's food and nightlife, about 20 to 30 minutes away on the metro. **Pinheiros** suits athletes who want a HYROX gym nearby. - **Holiday Inn Parque Anhembi:** It's across the street from the Anhembi Sambadrome, with a pool, gym and a free shuttle to Shopping Center Norte and Tietê metro. - **ibis Styles São Paulo Anhembi:** A value option about 1.2 km from the Anhembi exhibition pavilion. - **Intercity São Paulo Anhembi:** A mid-range business hotel about 2 km from the Anhembi park. - **Novotel São Paulo Center Norte:** A four-star option about 3 km from Anhembi, handy if the closer hotels fill up. ### Gyms for pre-race training - **The Yard (Pinheiros):** A gym a few minutes from Faria Lima station that calls itself "officially affiliated" with HYROX, with a dedicated HYROX area. It offers trial classes by WhatsApp; day-pass prices aren't published. - **Smart Fit (Pinheiros):** A big budget chain, and the title sponsor of HYROX Puebla in Mexico. Some branches have SkiErgs and functional zones, but equipment varies, so check the app. A third-party guide cites a daily drop-in of about R$50. - **Holiday Inn Parque Anhembi (Santana):** The guest gym, closest to the probable venue, for light activation work. ### Where locals run - **Ibirapuera Park (Ibirapuera):** São Paulo's central park covers 158 hectares, with plenty of space and paths for jogging. It opens at 5am, so go early on the weekend. - **Parque da Juventude (Santana):** A North Zone park on the site of the old Carandiru prison, with running tracks. It's the nearest green space to Anhembi. - **Parque Villa-Lobos (Alto de Pinheiros):** A flat 2.4 km running track and a 3.5 km cycle path, reached via Villa Lobos-Jaguaré station on CPTM Line 9. ### Where to eat and fuel up - **Mercado Municipal (Centro):** The historic market's mortadella sandwich is its most famous order, with pastel de bacalhau as a side. Save it for after the race. - **Mocotó (Vila Medeiros):** A Michelin Bib Gourmand institution in the North Zone. Order the house classics, dadinhos de tapioca (fried tapioca cubes) and baião de dois, a rice-and-beans dish that makes a solid carb load. - **Tordesilhas (Jardins):** A Bib Gourmand Brazilian restaurant serving regional dishes such as moqueca. Feijoada is served only on Saturdays, a treat once your race is done. - **A Casa do Porco (Centro):** A Bib Gourmand pork temple on Rua Araújo. The six-hour Porco Sanzé is a big post-race reward. It's open all day Monday to Saturday and until 5pm on Sunday. ### Race weekend events and parties As of 18 October 2026, no official after-party, expo or community run had been announced for HYROX São Paulo in May 2027. Watch HYROX Brasil's official channels in race week. Sunday 9 May is Mother's Day in Brazil, one of the busiest restaurant days of the year, so book Sunday lunch early. ### After the race **Recovery:** - **Holiday Inn Parque Anhembi:** Guests get a pool and gym right across from the Anhembi complex. - **Ibirapuera Park:** A slow walk under the trees is the classic local way to flush the legs. **Things to do:** - See the art collection and the open space under the red-pillared building at **MASP** on Avenida Paulista. - Walk the graffiti-covered alley of **Beco do Batman** in Vila Madalena. - Eat your way around the stalls of the **Mercado Municipal**. ### Local insights - **Getting a transit card is awkward for visitors:** The Bilhete Único card must be personalized, so foreigners need a passport at an SPTrans store. Most visitors buy QR-code tickets from TOP machines instead. Contactless bank cards work only at a few turnstiles, so look for the symbol. - **Ride-hail is the default:** Uber and 99 both operate. Book in the official app, wait somewhere safe, and check the car and driver match. - **Tipping is on the bill:** Restaurants add 10% service. If it says "serviço não incluso", pay 10% anyway. - **Tap water is treated but locals filter it:** Building tanks aren't always cleaned, so most people drink filtered or bottled water. - **Cards and Pix rule:** Contactless cards work almost everywhere. Pix, the instant-payment system, needs a Brazilian bank account, so carry a card and a little cash. - **May is mild and mostly dry:** Average highs are about 23°C (74°F) and lows about 15°C (58°F), with around 66 mm of rain. Pack a layer for early starts. - **Keep your phone out of sight:** The UK government warns that phone theft is common in Brazilian cities, especially between 4pm and 9pm. Use ATMs inside malls. - **Paulista closes to cars on Sundays:** Avenida Paulista becomes a pedestrian street on Sundays and holidays. It's great for a recovery walk, but it gets crowded by midday. ### Race-day tips for this venue - **Confirm the venue and pavilion.** Once HYROX announces the hall, check which entrance athletes use. In October 2026 the race was in Anhembi's Expo halls 1 and 2. - **Bring photo ID.** Check-in opens 90 minutes before your division's first wave, and nobody can check in for you. - **Use the official drop-off point.** At Anhembi, app cars stop on Rua Professor Milton Rodrigues. Parking is through gate 38 and cost R$90 for 12 hours in 2026. - **Leave early on Saturday.** São Paulo traffic is unpredictable, and the walk from Portuguesa-Tietê is about 1.5 km. - **Buy spectator tickets ahead.** Friends need their own tickets, which cost about R$54 a day in October 2026. ### FAQ ### Where is HYROX São Paulo in May 2027?
