WHY SEOUL…

Seoul is a dynamic, high-energy city that’s perfect for HYROX-ers looking for a mix of culture, adventure and cutting-edge experiences. Whether you’re into hiking, nightlife, or tech, Seoul delivers it all with a distinctly Korean twist.

Start your day with a hike up Bukhansan National Park, where scenic trails and panoramic views of the city offer a refreshing escape from the urban buzz. For something more central, Namsan Park and its iconic Seoul Tower provide a great workout and a stunning skyline backdrop.

Seoul’s cultural scene is equally vibrant. Explore centuries of history at Gyeongbokgung Palace or wander through Bukchon Hanok Village, where traditional Korean houses meet artisan boutiques and tea houses. The city’s museums—like the National Museum of Korea—offer deep dives into everything from ancient dynasties to contemporary art.

When the sun sets, Seoul transforms. The nightlife is legendary, especially in districts like Hongdae, Itaewon and Gangnam. Nights often unfold in “stations”—starting with Korean BBQ, moving to bars, then karaoke rooms and ending in late-night street food stalls. 

It’s social, spontaneous and full of energy. For tech lovers, Seoul is a futuristic playground. From keyless smart homes to high-speed internet and robot cafés, the city is a glimpse into tomorrow. Even the public transport is sleek, efficient and affordable.

And let’s not forget the food—Seoul is a street food paradise. Try spicy tteokbokki, crispy hotteok, or a sizzling plate of bulgogi. It’s cheap, delicious and everywhere.

Seoul is a city that never slows down. For HYROX-ers who thrive on movement, discovery and cultural immersion, it’s not just a destination—it’s an experience.
