Getting to São Paulo

• Other races within 2,000 km of São Paulo, nearest first, as the crow flies between city centres: Rio de Janeiro (about 350 km, 21–22 Nov).
• Also in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (21–22 Nov).
• On the calendar, the last race before it starts is Gdańsk (10–11 Oct) and the first one after it ends is Tampa, 4 days later (22–25 Oct).
• São Paulo is in the southern hemisphere, so racers flying in from Europe or North America are coming from the other season.

The race: 8 runs, 8 stations

Every HYROX race, São Paulo included, is a 1 km run then a station, eight times over. Times are medians of 395,452 solo results, Seasons 7 and 8 (hyroxdatalab.com).

Pacing
