Tri Kids
Published on Thursday, 23 June 2011 06:45
Hi there!
Do you like swimming, riding your bike and running? Would you like to do them all together?
Well, if you do then you should come along and try a triathlon! They are heaps of fun!
If you are aged between 4 and 12 years old, you can come along and have a go at one of our Kids Events.
We have age catergories which are: 4-6 Years old, 7-8 Years old, 9-10 Years old and 11-12 Years old.
As the kids get older the distances increase, which gives the little ones a better chance of crossing the line first. This helps the younger kids to enjoy racing within their age groups without feeling like they are getting beaten by the older kids.
Distances vary depending on the venue, but generally the two youngest groups do half of what the older two groups do.
We are pretty flexible with this as we try to make it work for the kids that turn up on the day.
All you need are some goggles, a bike (mountain bike, bmx, hybrid or racer are all fine), a helmet and some runners.
We have triathlons (swim/ride/run) in summer and duathlons (run/ride/run) in winter.
Interested? Click here to find out more, or here to see other kids enjoying one of our races.
