Hyrox racer names Osaka and Incheon among his favorite host cities

Lau Wen Loong has competed in 21 Hyrox races across 11 cities over the past two years.

Hyrox combines running with fitness stations, and people can compete alone, in pairs or in a relay.

Lau, who is based in Seoul, began racing after a friend introduced him to the sport, and he completed his first event in Singapore in August 2024.

He lists Osaka and Incheon among his favorite race cities in the account, though the details provided do not identify his third choice.

In Osaka in January 2026, he set a personal best of 61 minutes and 51 seconds at a winter event held between two halls.

In Incheon in May 2026, he placed first in his age group and set another personal best at his friend's first Hyrox race.

Races cost about $150, while travel and other expenses can reach $1,500; Lau says brand partnerships help cover some costs.
