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, and then, after a revamp – to a slightly more recognisable HYROX type format – it relaunched at HYROX Amsterdam during January 2026.
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.Â
The workouts test the young athletes’ speed, agility, strength, and coordination through activities similar to the standard HYROX set up / stations (but differing in distances, weights, etc). As with the “normal” HYROX event, each child’s time taken to complete each section is recorded. You can read the rulebook here.
