Should you race here?
The mildest and driest European race of the winter, six minutes from its airport.
Reasons to
- 11.2°C (52°F) and 37mm of rain across February, which beats every other European race in this window.
- Toulouse-Blagnac is six minutes from the hall by taxi and 25 by a two-euro bus.
- The venue opened in 2020 and is the newest and easiest to navigate on this calendar.
- Saint-Sernin, the Jacobins and the Cite de l'Espace are all worth the extra day.
Reasons not to
- MEETT is out at Aussonne, 25 minutes from the city, with nothing around it after six.
- Toulouse-Blagnac takes European routes only, so long-haul means a connection.
- Ten hours of daylight, which is better than December but not generous.
Conditions on the day
LUCIS HYROX TOULOUSE runs February 3rd, 2027 to February 7th, 2027 at MEETT. Here is what that specific window is like on the ground.

Toulouse has moved building, moved season, and grown from a single day into the best part of a week. Where you race, and when, changes the day more than most people expect.
MEETT, your race is in this building
A new exhibition park north-west of the city, opened in 2020 to a Rem Koolhaas design, with a tram stop and the airport six minutes away.
Known for. Replacing the old Parc des Expositions on the island in the Garonne, and for being the newest major fairground in France.
The building. Built at Aussonne beside the airport and opened in 2020, with the tram line extended out to reach it.
Race day and start times
The thing that shapes your travel is not the race date. It is when you find out what time you are racing on it.
Hyrox links individual start times on the event page about three days before the race. A provisional schedule goes up earlier.
What to bring
At MEETT, and only on the day you compete. Registration opens 90 minutes before the first wave of your division.
You do not bring a chip. You collect the ankle strap at check-in, wear it for the race, and hand it back after the line.
What your wristband does not cover
You are given a wristband at check-in. Hyrox has not published what the Toulouse one admits you to. Check-in is open only on the day you race, so do not assume it covers a second day.
Getting there on the morning
Tram T1 to MEETT Beauzelle, about 25 minutes from the centre. Check the first tram against your wave.
What you need to book
Before you book
Book flights and the last night around the provisional schedule, not around a wave you have not been given.
If Hyrox cancels or postpones the event, its terms do not cover your flights or your room. Check the cancellation deadline on both before you pay for either.
Flying into the city
Carcassonne takes a few low-cost routes and is an hour away by train.

Getting to Toulouse
Toulouse-Blagnac is six minutes from MEETT by taxi, or 25 minutes on bus 30 for two euros.
Taxi from Blagnac
Six minutes and sixteen to twenty euros. No other race in this guide puts the terminal that close to the hall.
Bus 30, or the T1 tram
Bus 30 runs from the airport to MEETT in 25 minutes for two euros. The T1 tram connects the venue to the city in about the same.
Entry requirements
Quick tip
If you are staying in the city rather than by the venue, the airport shuttle to the centre is the trip to plan, not the one to the hall.
Getting to the venue
There is almost nothing at Aussonne. Stay in the centre around Capitole or Matabiau and take the tram out.
The airport is six minutes from the venue by taxi, which is the shortest transfer in this guide, and bus 30 does the same trip for two euros in 25. The tram T1 runs to the centre in about 25 minutes, so staying in the city costs you half an hour each way.
Where to stay
Aussonne has the fairground and little else. The old city is 25 minutes out on the T1 and is where the whole trip is.
Open in Google Maps · Get directions
1. Hotels at Blagnac and Aussonne
Airport hotels, from about EUR 85 a night. Closest to the start, and nothing to do after six.
2. Hotels around Capitole
The pink brick squares, the basilica and the restaurants. Where you should stay, 25 minutes out on the T1.
3. Hotels around Matabiau
Practical for trains, cheaper than Capitole, and ten minutes' walk from the old town.
Nothing large is in MEETT or the Zenith across the weekend, so rooms are at ordinary February rates. This is an easy one to book late.
Neighbourhoods worth the commute
MEETT is north-west of the city and the T1 tram is the spine. Everything below is measured along it.
| Area | To the venue | Why | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blagnac and Aussonne | 5 to 15 min by road | Airport suburbs with the Airbus plants behind them. Convenient, modern, and empty in the evening. | |
| Capitole and the old centre | about 25 min by tram | Pink brick squares, Saint-Sernin and the Jacobins, with the best eating and the whole point of Toulouse. | |
| Saint-Cyprien | about 25 min by tram | Across the Garonne from the centre, less polished, with the market and the modern art gallery. | |
| Matabiau and the canal | about 30 min by tram and metro | The station district on the Canal du Midi, practical and cheaper, ten minutes from the old town. | |
| Carmes | about 28 min by tram and metro | A small, smart quarter south of Capitole with the covered market and the quietest streets in the centre. |
Eating before and after
The night before a race is not the night for the best meal of your trip, which is harder discipline than it sounds in a city this good at food.
Blagnac, by the venue
Airport-area restaurants that serve early and quickly, a few minutes from the hall. Nothing about them is memorable and that is correct.
The old centre
Twenty-five minutes out on the tram, with brasseries around Capitole that will do a plate of pasta or fish from seven. The better evening.
This is cassoulet country, duck country and Armagnac country. None of that is light.
Cassoulet at Le Colombier
White beans, duck confit and Toulouse sausage, baked for hours in an earthenware dish. A lunch menu is seventeen to twenty-two euros near Matabiau.
La Cave au Cassoulet
A small room doing one dish properly for twenty to twenty-five euros. Book it, and do not plan to do anything afterwards.
Race day supplies
The practical failures that spoil a race weekend are almost never the training. They are forgetting the gels, or carrying a kit bag around a city for six hours.
Pack list
- A light layer rather than a heavy one. It is 11.2°C (52°F) by day, which is mild for a February race.
- Something for the morning. It falls to 3.1°C (38°F) overnight and the tram ride is at dawn.
- Less waterproofing than most of this calendar needs. Thirty-seven millimetres across the month.
Quick tips
- A Tisseo day ticket is EUR 7.20 and covers the tram out to MEETT and back twice.
- The tram takes 25 minutes from the centre, so add it to both ends of your race day.
Aussonne and Blagnac have supermarkets, which covers the basics. Anything specific is easier in the centre before you ride out.
The last race in Toulouse
MEETT is a recent addition to the Hyrox calendar, so there is little previous form here to pass on.
What happened
The last edition, in short.
- The tram T1 and bus 30 both stop at MEETT, and bus 30 runs from the airport terminal.
- The building opened in 2020, so it is newer and easier to navigate than most fairgrounds here.
What it means for you
How your race differs from that one.
- MEETT is out at Aussonne, 25 minutes from the centre by tram. Nothing around it is open in the evening.
- Toulouse-Blagnac is six minutes away by taxi, the shortest airport transfer in this guide.
What else is on that weekend
A quiet February weekend, with one concert in the city and nothing at the fairground.
| What | When | Where | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| RFM Party 80 | 5 February | Zenith Toulouse Metropole | The Friday night, in the city rather than at Aussonne. No effect on race morning. |
| Stade Toulousain, away | Through February | Stade Ernest-Wallon | The home fixtures in February fall after race week. A home game moves 19,000 people and is worth checking. |
| The Pyrenees ski season | All February | 90 minutes south | The resorts are at their fullest, which pulls traffic out of the city on Saturday mornings rather than into it. |
| Carnival season | Late February | The city centre | Toulouse holds a carnival parade later in the month, after racing. Worth knowing if you are extending. |
What to see
Written for someone racing tomorrow, not a tourist with a week. Each entry says how far it is, because some of these are worth a longer trip and some are not.
The Basilica of Saint-Sernin
The largest surviving Romanesque church in Europe, built in brick for pilgrims walking to Santiago. Free to enter, and the scale of it inside is the thing.
The Couvent des Jacobins
A Gothic convent whose single central column fans into a palm-tree vault across the whole ceiling. Five euros, and worth every one of them.
The Cite de l'Espace
A full-size Ariane 5 standing outside and a Mir module you can walk through, in the city that assembles Europe's aircraft and satellites. Twenty-nine to thirty-two euros.
The Museum de Toulouse
A natural history museum with a free permanent collection and a botanical garden attached, in a nineteenth-century building near the Grand Rond.
What to do
Walk the Garonne and the Pont Neuf
The riverbank path and the sixteenth-century bridge, with the brick city going pink in the late sun. Free, flat, and the reason the place is called la ville rose.
The Canal du Midi towpath
A flat, plane-lined path from Matabiau station that runs all the way to the Mediterranean if you have the legs. An hour of it is a good shake-out.
A day in the Pyrenees
Ninety minutes south and there is snow. February is mid-season, and the trains from Matabiau reach the valley towns.
Marche Victor Hugo
A covered market with restaurants on the floor above it, where you eat what you just walked past. It opens at lunchtime only, and it is crowded for a reason.
