After anxiously waiting in the online queue to get Hyrox tickets, we’d thought we’d got the hard bit out the way. How wrong we were! Hyrox is a huge challenge that we’ve wanted to take on for so long and it we’re so glad that we can do it for something that means a lot to us.

We’ll be competing in Hyrox Manchester in January to raise money for MacMillan Cancer, a charity that we know means so much to so many, but is particularly close to our hearts. Hannah’s Mum died from bowel cancer just over two years ago and it’s so special to keep her memory alive in continuing to do crazy challenges that she always supported the two of us through. Andrea was so full of life, bubbly, supportive of us, and always ready to take on another adventure. We know she’ll be super proud and cheering us on from the sidelines.

We’d be so grateful for any support - every penny counts! We’ll keep you updated on our journey! (NB. We are not runners … yet!)

Thank you so much,

Love Hannah and Sophie xx

PS. For those who are yet to discover the delights of the challenge we are undertaking, please read on - at your own risk!

HYROX is the fitness race that combines both running and functional fitness. I’ll be taking on a course of a 1km run followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated eight times.
