Two 2027 dates are now sourced on the organiser's own homepage: Manchester, 27 February, Depot Mayfield, marked on sale from £90 (about US$119.93 at 19 October 2026 rates), and London, 17–18 April, at Magazine. If you want a winter pairs race in the north of England, that Manchester date is the new thing and it is live. Anyone waiting on a full ticket ladder, spectator pricing or a confirmed category list should hold — none of that is published on an official page I could reach today, and the widely repeated line that London is newly expanding to two days is wrong: it already ran as a two-day weekend in September 2026.
METRIX has put a winter Manchester date on sale: 27 February 2027 at Depot Mayfield, listed as “On Sale” from £90 on the organiser’s homepage (metrix.fitness, checked 19 October 2026). The same upcoming-events module lists London for 17–18 April 2027 at Magazine.
That is the whole of the confirmed news, and it is worth separating from the version doing the rounds. The organiser’s own release shows London already ran across a two-day weekend on 5–6 September 2026, so “London expands to two days” does not hold. The genuinely new item for 2027 is a Manchester date in February.
This is a dates-and-on-sale report built from the organiser’s published pages. I have not raced METRIX, and nothing below is a review.
What the organiser lists for 2027
| Event | Date | Venue | Lowest advertised price | Status on the homepage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| METRIX Manchester | 27 February 2027 | Depot Mayfield | From £90 | On Sale |
| METRIX London | 17–18 April 2027 | Magazine, London | From £90 | Could not confirm |
Both rows come from the METRIX homepage, read on 19 October 2026. At the market rate of 1 GBP = 1.3326 USD (OFX, 19 October 2026; Trading Economics showed 1.3332 the same day), £90 is about US$119.93 before any card FX fee.
On London’s status: the homepage events module is a rotating carousel, and across separate retrievals of the same page on the same day the “On Sale” label and the “From £90 — Book tickets” call-to-action did not stay attached to the same card. The two dates, 17–18 April 2027, appeared consistently. The status did not, so I am not going to tell you whether London is open for booking or on a waitlist. Check the live event page before you plan a weekend around it.
“From £90” is an entry point, not a price list
I could not reach the Manchester booking page itself. That means I have no tier names, no spectator price for 2027, and no list of what any ticket includes. I also cannot tell you whether £90 is a per-pair entry, a per-athlete entry or the cheapest spectator pass — the homepage does not say, and that distinction is the single most useful thing missing from this story.
Two older reference points exist, and both are stale enough that they say nothing reliable about 2027. The organiser’s own store listed a £30 Spectator Day Pass for the March 2025 London edition (metrix.events, checked 19 October 2026) — about US$39.98 at today’s rate. A third-party listing for METRIX Manchester in August 2025 showed entries in the £100–£120 range. Neither is a 2027 figure and I would not budget from either.
London was already a two-day weekend
The organiser’s August 2026 release says METRIX returned to Magazine London on 5–6 September 2026 “for its biggest event to date, with more than 3,500 participants and spectators expected across the two day weekend” (press release, dated 12 August 2026).
That 3,500 figure is a forward-looking expectation published before the event, not a verified attendance count, and it is the organiser’s own number. The same release claims 310% year-on-year attendance growth with 7,800 competitors and 2,000 spectators across five events since launching in 2025 — again self-reported and not independently audited.
What matters here is the two-day point. London 2026 was a two-day weekend. The 17–18 April 2027 listing is a continuation, not an expansion. And I could not find an official 2027 London event page saying whether both days carry competition waves or whether one is racing and the other is programming. That remains open.
The format the organiser currently publishes
METRIX is contested in pairs only, across five stations — Ski Erg, Burpees, Row Erg, Bike Erg and Sleds + Shuttles — with £5,000 prize money, per the homepage.
The detail sits on the event pages. The September 2026 London page describes ten minutes of work at each station, you-go-I-go with one partner working and one resting, four minutes’ rest between stations, scored on maximum total distance or reps. The Cardiff page and the event guide describe the same five stations, the guide naming them as Ski Erg, Burpees Over Line, Row Erg, Bike Erg, and Shuttle Run / Sled Push. The release adds that every metre and repetition is captured by live tracking, removing the need for judges.
None of those is a 2027 event page. The honest wording is that the format METRIX currently publishes is unchanged — not that the 2027 format is confirmed unchanged. If you have not seen one before, our explainer on how a METRIX event is staged covers the rest.
What is not confirmed for Manchester
Four things I wanted and could not source on an official page:
- The ticket ladder. Tier names, what each includes, and the 2027 spectator price.
- The wave and category list. Male, Female and Mixed categories are confirmed, but on the September 2026 London page, not on anything for 27 February 2027. I found no official mention of a scaled or elite division anywhere, so do not assume one exists.
- Whether £5,000 is per event or per season. The homepage states the figure without qualifying it.
- Whether both London days are competition days.
The August release also said METRIX had confirmed a 2027 UK circuit of London, Manchester and Cardiff plus an inaugural international event. The homepage today lists only Manchester and London for 2027. Cardiff has an official page, but it carries no 2027 date.
The HYROX comparison, and why I am not making it
The obvious question is how £90 sits against a HYROX Doubles entry in the same city. I cannot answer it to a standard worth publishing.
HYROX Manchester 2027 runs 20–31 January 2027 at Manchester Central Convention Complex (hyrox.com, checked 19 October 2026) — three days before the METRIX date, in the same city, which makes the comparison tempting. But the official HYROX page I could read carried dates, venue and Flex add-on terms and no prices; HYROX pricing sits behind the registration flow. A third-party tracker lists £120 for Doubles (hyresult.com, checked 19 October 2026), but that is not the organiser’s checkout, and on the METRIX side I do not even know whether £90 is a pair or a person. Two unknowns do not make a comparison.
Someone needs to open both checkouts on the same day and record the per-pair totals including service fees. Until then, treat any METRIX-versus-HYROX price line you read as a guess.
For the rest of the 2027 UK and European calendar as it firms up, see our notes on the DEKA EMEA Championship in Liverpool and Turf Games moving its winter festival to Olympia. METRIX sits on our Races page alongside the other series.
