The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon helps kids stay active and healthy through a programme of participation - getting out there, giving it a TRY, and achieving a personal best to improve confidence and self esteem.
The event is open to everyone aged from 6 to 15 years, and consists of a swim, a cycle and a run. A Splash and Dash duathlon option is available for 6 year olds.
Participants can enter as an individual and complete all three legs of the event or they can team up with a friend and form a team of two (7 years +). One team member will be the "swimmer" and the other will be the "cyclist". Both participants will need to complete the run section.
Date: Sunday 23rd February 2025.
Start Time: 9am for the TRYathlon and 9.25am for the Splash and Dash. A briefing will occur before the start time.
Location: Jellie Park and Recreation Centre (Ilam Road, Burnside).
Cost: $54.60 per child for the tryathlon (solo or team), and $48.40 per child for the Splash and Dash option. Discounts available for multiple entries from the same family (3+ children entered). Early-bird prices available until midnight on Sunday 26th January 2025.
