Corey Lawrie’s Hyrox World Debut

Former Warriors rugby league star Corey Lawrie is chasing glory on the global stage, competing in the Hyrox World Championships in Stockholm after a stellar second-place finish in Auckland. Retired from premier league rugby in 2024, Lawrie’s new obsession is endurance — no breaks for an hour and ten minutes, a world away from the stop-start action of the game he once dominated. With no more tackles to contend with, he’s focused on weight management and running performance, embracing the challenge as his new competitive outlet. The trip cost him $12,000, raised through sponsorships, UK family support, and a raffle of Warriors gear — leaving him deeply grateful. Now in Manchester with loved ones before his race kicks off Saturday morning NZ time, Lawrie’s journey is live-streamed on Hyrox’s YouTube channel — proof that passion and grit can carry you far beyond the rugby field.
