Dylan is a World Championship podium finisher, one of the very few people in the world with a HYROX Pro time under 54 minutes, and possesses an extensive resume with many, many, incredible achievements.

🔥 Special Feature: Dylan may also be racing! This is a unique opportunity to see one of the best in the world in action, and potentially even line up against him!

This day is designed to give you the tools, strategies, and real-world practice you need to step onto the start line at HYROX Ottawa 2026 ready to perform at your best.
