Red Bull hosts HYROX sand training event in Fukuoka

Red Bull Japan hosted the ‘Red Bull Road to HYROX | HYROX TRAINING ON SAND’ event on October 17 at Seaside Momochi Seaside Park in Fukuoka. This marked the first time the training program, designed to improve performance for the HYROX fitness race, was held on a beach setting.

A total of 278 participants from the Kyushu region and Okayama joined the program. The training involved 600 to 800-meter runs on unstable sand combined with five specific workouts: bucket carries, tire pulls, dumbbell lunges, burpee broad jumps, and wall balls. The event included beginner sessions to accommodate different fitness levels.

The event also served as a precursor to the launch of the ‘Red Bull Energy Drink Apple Edition’ on October 20. Organizers from CrossFit Hakata noted the high turnout and the effectiveness of the sand-based training for building functional fitness.
