Claudia Meloni Triumphs at Hyrox Verona with Functional Running Success
The Hyrox Verona finals took place from December 5 to 7, attracting over 900 athletes from around the world. The event, which combines running and functional training, showcased impressive performances, including that of Italian athlete Claudia Meloni, who secured second place in her category and fifth overall with a record time of 1:06:41. This marks a significant improvement for Meloni, who made her Hyrox debut earlier in 2023.
Meloni, originally from Gavardo and now residing in Molinetto di Mazzano, transitioned to Hyrox after a career in soccer and trail running, following several injuries. With six official races under her belt, she has achieved notable placements in Rimini and Turin. Currently training about 20 hours a week at BB Gym, she follows a tailored program that focuses on both aerobic endurance and muscular strength, as she prepares for upcoming competitions in 2026 in Turin and Bologna.
