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. Â

In August 2026, we got to a have a chat with the Education Manager of HYROX 365 Academy all about how the Youngstars race was designed and how training should take into account the age of the child taking part…
