HYROX Simulation Athlete Information

Please find information about travelling to the University on our main Getting Here webpage.

Parking is free but please give plenty of time ahead of your start time, as campus can be a bit busier at weekends during semester time as there is lots going on!

• Enter the main Sport Centre reception when you arrive.
• At reception, please make them aware you are here for the HYROX event, and you will be allowed entry to the facility.
• There is a café on the left as you enter the building for any food/drinks. There are also vending machines in the building.
• The tennis centre is located downstairs on the bottom level, taking left at the bottom of the stairwell. Signage will be in place to direct you.

• All participants must register their attendance with the team at the registration desk in the tennis hall.
• All participants must ensure they have acknowledged the participant waiver. The registration team will inform you if they require you to complete the acknowledgement.
• The registration team will be able to answer any questions/queries as well as confirm your start time.

• There are changing facilities/toilets/showers/lockers next to the warm-up zone in the tennis centre.
• There are also changing facilities/toilets/showers/lockers in the main changing areas which are also on the bottom level.
• Lockers are padlock-operated and participants are encouraged to bring their own padlock, as University of Stirling Sport will take no responsibility for any lost/stolen valuables not put in a locker securely.
• Padlocks are available to purchase at reception if required.

• Whilst the event will not provide water on the day like an official race (i.e. plastic cups), we will provide a table on course for participants to leave their water bottles which they will pass as they move through the stations.
• There is a water fountain just outside the tennis centre for participants to use as they require.
• There are also vending machines around the facility as well as the café located on the second/main floor (reception area).

We'd be delighted for spectator to come along and support on the day and help create an atmosphere for the participants. The only thing we ask is for spectators to stay within the designated areas to ensure athletes are given appropriate space during the event.

As well as the recovery area, we will also have a designated spectator route that will ensure supporters can get a good view of every station.

Fire Evacuation

In the unlikely event of a fire, all participants and spectators must evacuate the tennis centre via one of the fire exits and make their way to the assembly point (number 4) which is located at the athletics track. There will be staff to direct you.

First Aid Procedure

There will be a member of the UOS Sport Operations team to support with First Aid. In the event of First Aid, please contact the nearest volunteer. In the event of a serious First Aid, there are 2 red emergency panic buttons located in the corners of the Tennis Centre.
