Format
HYROX Youngstars is the race format for children and teens aged 8–15. The structure mirrors the HYROX adult race (8 runs + 8 stations), but distances and weights are adapted to age and stage of development. The run-loop length is 200–275 m depending on the venue.
There are four age groups, each split into girls and boys (divisions A–H). The decisive factor is the athlete's age on race day.

How it works
- Parents may not enter the race floor; they hand the child over in the start zone and watch from the spectator area.
- 25-minute supervised warm-up led by HYROX coaches right before the start.
- Each wave contains only one age group + gender.
- Mistakes result in time penalties (e.g. +30 s wrong arch, +90 s missed lap) rather than disqualification — the kids always get to finish.
