On Jun 29, 6,500 people in Singapore, mostly in their late 20s and 30s, took part in the latest Hyrox event, a timed race involving eight different exercises and 8km of running. What appears to be a daunting, gruelling physical contest has skyrocketed in popularity worldwide: From 650 people taking part in the first Hyrox in 2017 in Germany, to over 120,000 worldwide participants a year now.
