On Sunday, February 28th, Fit Body Farm will host its 26th Hyrox simulation event. This dynamic day promises an engaging experience for both young athletes aged 8 to 15 and adults over the age of 16.
For kids, there are four distinct age groups: 8-9 years old, 10-11 years old, 12-13 years old, and 14-15 years old. Each group will participate in tailored formats designed to challenge them appropriately while fostering a sense of community among young competitors.
Adult participants can choose from various divisions including the Hyrox Half option or opt for full stations with half runs interspersed between workouts. Those who prefer not to run have the flexibility to substitute bike rides instead, ensuring that everyone finds an event format suitable for their preferences and abilities.
The simulation closely mirrors live Hyrox events by using identical weights and repetitions across all stations. The day is expected to run from 9am until approximately 5pm, with a special briefing scheduled at 8:45 am for the young participants.
To ensure smooth operations, Fit Body Farm has organized the event schedule meticulously:
1) A morning session dedicated solely to Hyrox Youngstars.
2) Followed by Half Individual events for adults aged 16 and above.
3) Full Stations with half runs or bike rides for individuals and doubles teams. Important note: If you wish to participate in this format, please enter the full double or individual category first, then email
[email protected] to request a switch from 1000m runs to 500m runs.
4) Men's Open Doubles
5) Mixed Doubles
6) Women’s Pro Doubles
7) Women’s Pro Singles
8) Men's Singles (Open)
9) Women's Singles
10) Men's Pro Doubles
11) Men's Pro Singles
Exact start times will be communicated via email on Thursday, February 25th. While the event is non-competitive in nature, Hyrox helpers will oversee each station to ensure proper form and encourage participants throughout their journey.
Entry fees for the simulation include a finisher patch for first-time attendees:
- £17.50 for young athletes and half individual adult events
- £27.50 for full individual adults (ages 16+)
- £32.50 per team for full doubles teams (£16.25 per person)
Fit Body Farm members receive a significant discount of up to 50% on their entry fees.
Participants must select one of the following categories upon signing up:
- Hyrox Youngstars
- Half Individual (reduced distance/reps with shorter runs in between)
