Hyrox China surprises finishers with blind medal bags per city

Hyrox China is introducing a new concept for finishers this year: everyone who crosses the finish line receives a sealed bag containing a medal. Which medal is inside only becomes clear once you open the bag.

The medals are city-specific and each feature one of the well-known Hyrox stations. Designs have already been revealed for cities including Shenzhen, Chengdu and Shanghai.

Finishers have no say in which medal they receive, giving the concept a collectible element. Anyone who wants to collect all stations will need to run multiple races or trade with other participants.

It shows that the organisation is experimenting in various countries with ways to make the finisher experience more unique and personal.
