About this event
Tri-ActiV8 Kids Triathlon is a non-competitive, inclusive event designed to help children build confidence in the water, on a bike and while running. The event welcomes children aged 5 to 12 years, with no previous aquathlon or triathlon experience required.
Held at the Mackay Aquatic and Recreation Centre in Ooralea, the event features a fully off-road course. Children swim in the centre’s 25-metre pool, cycle within the secure MARC and university precinct, and run on a state-of-the-art tartan track.
Participants must be able to complete the allocated swim distance without assistance. Children can choose between an aquathlon, featuring swimming and running, or a triathlon, featuring swimming, cycling and running.
