HYROX Nashville 2026
Nashville is one of the fastest-growing cities in the US, and the fitness scene has kept up. The December 10-13 event closes the US fall race calendar. A growing population of young professionals, musicians, and entrepreneurs has fueled new boutique fitness studios, CrossFit boxes, and outdoor training groups across the city.
December in Nashville means mild winter weather -- temperatures in the mid-40s to mid-50s Fahrenheit, much more comfortable than northern cities. The downtown location at Music City Center puts athletes two blocks from Broadway's honky-tonks. Race first, celebrate after.
