Triathlon HB Iron Kids Youth Triathlon & Aquathlon

Exciting news! This year we have not one.....not two......but THREE Ironkids Event on for Hawkes Bay tamariki in 2022. Don't worry if you missed the first one in January, there is still time to get 2 events in.

These are always popular events and the aim is to see if you can beat your own time. There are different distances for different ages and kids can participate as individuals or 2 or 3 person teams.
Super safe environment with a swim at Ocean Spa and cycling and running on the Rotary pathways on the seaside.

This year we have events for 7-19-year-olds - so definitely something for everyone! Great way to be out there and get active and where else can you practise your transitions and have fun? As a community, not for profit charitable organisation, we have kept entry fees as low as possible and you will be part of a professionally run, timed, super fun event.

We encourage everybody to give it a TRI!

Entry is by online registration only and closes at 11.59pm on Friday 25 February 2022. No late registrations will be accepted.

This is a Covid vaccine mandated event, so all participants aged 12 years 3 months and over will need to show a vaccine certificate to be verified at registration. Any parents/caregivers/spectators will also need to have their vaccine passes verified to be in the designated event areas (e.g registration/finish line/transition/spectator viewing).

Event Times

Start time: 8.30am. Yes, it is early, but we start early before the pathways get too busy.

Prizegiving

Prizegiving will be held straight after the last person finishes and will be held in the transition area.
