The HYROX World Championships is the pinnacle of HYROX racing, with over 90,000 athletes from around the world racing for the 22/23 season and only 2,000 qualifying for the ultimate HYROX showdown.
The 22/23 season finale came to the UK for the first time on Friday, the 26th and Saturday, the 27th of May, with Manchester's prestigious converted railway, the Manchester Central Convention Centre, taking backdrop of the event.
The day saw Lauren Weeks and Hunter McIntyre of the USA crowned the 2023 HYROX World Series of Fitness Racing champions at the event.
At the finishing line, welcoming accomplished athletes was the HYROX Recovery Bar, using our Impact Premium container bar. The mobile container bar served participants recovery drinks after completing the event, and the upper deck provided a viewing gallery to recover.
Paint finished in black, with "Congratulations, you did it! HYROX World Championships Recovery Bar" branding, the Impact Premium container bar complimented the HYROX branding, the event, and the venue.
Shipping container conversions for sporting events
Shipping container conversions and sporting events are a perfect match. Our customised containers for events and mobile container bar fleet provide the perfect temporary structure for events of all sporting applications, from catering and retail outlets to event sponsorship activations.
Customised containers add a burst of life to just about any sporting event. Whereas in the past, tents, canopies and trailers were the go-to, more sporting events are seeing the benefits of hiring a shipping container conversion:
- They’re portable - shipping container conversions can be placed just about anywhere, meaning once the sporting event has finished, the structure can be removed from sites easily. This is particularly useful for one-off sporting events or sporting event series spanning different locations.
- They’re durable - the corrugated steel architecture of a shipping container conversion ensures the temporary structure is weatherproof and can survive the blusteriest of weathers and unwanted visitors.
- They’re customisable - shipping container conversions are completely customisable and can be branded via vinyl wrap or have additional modifications applied to achieve the perfect activation output.
- They’re high capacity - large enough to ship cargo around the world, shipping container conversions can hold a lot of stock, allowing for quick and efficient service at sporting events with high footfall without the need to re-stock.
Over the years, The Events Structure has been part of many sporting activations, from shipping container pop-up fan zones for football clubs Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Rangers to mobile container bars for the HYROX World Championships, C4 Energy at Bournemouth 7s and Famous Grouse at the 2021 British and Irish Lions tour opener.
We've also been a part of shipping container brand activations for eToro when touring UK football clubs, Adrian Flux at the Silverstone Classic Festival and Kwik Fit at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as well as pop-up retail outlets for British Super Bikes at the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, lulu lemon at the Great Manchester Run and Montblanc at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Not forgetting the multiple shipping container activation for the 2022 UEFA European Women's Football Championship pre-tournament roadshow, or the Lion’s Den hub that provided the backdrop to England's Euros 2020 social media coverage.
