The rumors are true… and we couldn’t be more excited! Our mission? To invest in the elite athletes of tomorrow while proving once again that HYROX is for everybody.
It’s more than just sport. HYROX Youngstars brings families together, training side by side, working toward the same goal. Because the best journeys are the ones we share.
HYROX YOUNGSTARS combines the classic endurance sport of running with strength and coordination exercises from functional training. The sequence of the exercises is predetermined and always remains the same: running, followed by an exercise station. HYROX Youngstars replicates the adult race but with adaptations based on the age and stage of maturation for the different age groups.
The exercise stations are:
- SkiErg – Pull on the ski ergometer until the full distance is reached.
- Sled Push – Push the sled across the marked distancethe sled 25m, starting completely behind the line.
- Sled Pull – Pull the sled across the marked distance, moving steadily backwards until the sled crosses the finish line completely.
- Burpee Broad Jump | Frogger Jumps – For Age 10+ Chest-to-floor burpee, followed by a long jump, landing with both feet simultaneously. For the 8-9 Years we jump like a frog.
- Rowing – Complete the distance on the rowing machine, zeroed before start.
- Farmers Carry – Carry weight on each hand and walk the designed distance.
- Lunges – Step forward into a deep lunge until the back knee briefly touches the floor. Both legs must alternate while covering the given distance.
- Wall Balls | Squats – Squat hips below the knee to touch the box, for ages 12+ then throw the ball at the given target.
To protect and support children’s development, HYROX Youngstars follows an age-specific format with tailored workouts for each stage.
Please note: the child’s age on race day determines their category — not the age during ticket booking.
