KIDS MINI TRI (5-9 year olds)

The 5 to 9 year olds “Kids Mini Tri” is a huge amount of fun. The focus is on participation and having a good time while learning about triathlon.

The kids tri is the final act of the festival which is a highlight for parents, spectators and those that participated earlier in the morning.

Course details

• Swim / Wade

  • The wade will be ~50m on the edge of the lake. We encourage kids to try to swim.

  • The race will be started in groups based on age.

  • The water will be ~ waist depth.

• Bike ~2km

  • The bike will a lap on completely closed roads. Children will run their bikes to Lakeway then bike to Greywacke Rd, at Greywacke Rd turn right and ride to the turn point. Return following the same route.

  • It is OK for parents to run along side younger children as long as they do no impede the progress of others.

• Run

  • The run will be 1 lap of the lake = 1km

  • As with the bike if younger children (eg 5-6 year olds) need a parent to accompany them on the run this is acceptable as long as it is not “coaching” to get them to place highly.
