About this event
Try a Tri #5 is a welcoming introductory triathlon event designed for children aged 5–15 to experience all three disciplines in a supportive, pressure-free environment. Held at Manly Dam, this sanctioned event emphasizes participation, confidence-building, and achievement over competition, with no timing or podiums.
Led by certified coaches and organized by a passionate local community, the event features flexible participation options, allowing children to skip a leg or compete as a relay team. Age-appropriate race distances include a 100m swim, 3km cycle, and 1km run for ages 5–8, and a 200m swim, 6km cycle, and 2km run for ages 9–15.
This family-friendly event welcomes parents to support participants throughout the day, creating an inclusive atmosphere focused on fun and movement rather than competition.
