What's it all about?
The IronKidz Triathlon is all about participation. It's about getting out there, having a go and achieving a personal best and having a heap of FUN.

The event is open to everyone aged between 8 and 15. To complete the event, competitors complete a swim, following by a bike ride, followed by a run. You can enter on your own - which means you swim, bike and run (in that order) - or as part of a team of three, which means you swim or bike or run. You are also able to enter as a team of two. If you enter as a team of two, one of you will do two of the three legs (swim, bike, run). Your choice!

Note: Elite section there are no teams and you must be a competent swimmer. This is a timed event with time limits on each leg with trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd placings.

Registration takes place on Saturday 25th February at Waipahihi School Hall, 20 Parata Street, Taupo between 3.00-5.30pm and Sunday 26th February at Lakefront Reverse – opposite Mere Road, Taupo from 7.30am. Late entries will be taken at either registration but will not be eligible for the School Participation Prize.

Please note that every bike and helmet must be checked and meet safety requirements before you will be allowed to race. This can be done at registration and is free but any necessary repairs will be charged for.

The Transition Area is the place where you will put your bike on the day when you arrive. This is the area you will head towards after your swim to pick up your bike, and before your run to drop it off.

All participants must attend race briefing – Sunday 26th February, 8.30am on the lakefront.

Don't forget your training; lots of participants like to get together with a couple of friends, train-up and then either participate individually, or together as a team.
