Liam Qualifies for the Elite 15 at the Melbourne Major

Liam McCroary isn’t new to big moments (he’s already a HYROX World Champion in U30 Mixed Doubles) but qualifying for the Elite 15 Men’s Pro at the HYROX Melbourne Major marks a major step forward in his individual career. This is the level where solo athletes prove themselves against the fastest competitors on the planet, and Liam has officially earned his place among them.

What the Melbourne Major Means

HYROX Majors are the sport’s headline events. They bring together the top-ranked athletes from every continent to battle for ranking points, prize money and a place at the World Championships. Qualifying for the Elite 15 isn’t just about being fast, it’s about being world-class.

For Liam, this milestone shows what we already know: he has the engine, consistency and mindset to compete with the very best. The Elite 15 is stacked with global podium finishers and full-time professionals, and making it into that group reflects both his past achievements and the momentum he’s building in his solo racing.

Performing on the Opposite Side of the World

But racing at a Major is more than just turning up in shape. Liam is travelling from Scotland to Australia, crossing multiple time zones, navigating long-haul travel and adapting to completely opposite daylight cycles, all while preparing to perform at his physiological best.

That’s where we’re supporting him.

At Performr, we’re working closely with Liam in the lead-up to Melbourne: advising on travel strategy, hydration, fuelling and recovery to help him manage the physiological impact of long-haul travel. Jet lag doesn’t just make you tired. It affects sleep quality, glucose stability, hydration balance, cortisol rhythms and inflammation — all core drivers of athletic performance. Getting this right matters.

Supporting an Athlete Built for Big Moments

Liam’s greatest strength has always been his consistency. He trains with purpose, races with composure and handles pressure better than most. As he lines up against the strongest HYROX athletes in the world, he’ll bring not only the confidence of a world champion, but the hunger to keep proving himself on the biggest stages.

We’re incredibly proud to support him on this next step. The Elite 15 is where HYROX history is made, and Liam has more than earned his place on that start line.

Good luck in Melbourne, Liam — we can’t wait to see what you do on race day.
