HYROX has launched “HYROX Youngstars”, a competition designed exclusively for kids aged 8 to 15 years old. This new concept made its debut at the huge HYROX London Olympia event on May 4-6, 2024. The competition had it’s second outing at the Singapore EXPO event on August 31st – September 1st 2024.
The HYROX Youngstars competition sees participants take on a series of 9 different fitness stations. It is divided into four age categories (8-9 years, 10-11 years, 12-13 years, and 14-15 years), with slightly different requirements, by station, for each. The workouts test the young athletes’ speed, agility, strength, and coordination through activities such as Shuttle Runs, Ski Erg, Stixits Pull, Slalom Shuttle Runs, Horizontal Jumps, Rowing, Obstacle Shuttle Runs, Farmers Carry, and Wall Balls. As with the “normal” HYROX event, each child’s time taken to complete each section is recorded.
The competition is currently executed in groups of up to 8 children and led by a team leader.
