​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Breadcraft Kids Triathlon Series 2026:  The longest running Kids Triathlon Series in New Zealand!  (Since 1990, making 2026 the 37th year!)

​​​​​​​2026 dates: Mondays 9th and 16th February, third date to be confirmed as either Sunday 22nd February (afternoon event) or Monday 23rd February at the usual time.​​​​​​​

Entries will open soon.

2025 results: Race 1

2025 results: Race 2

2025 results: Race 3 

We have slightly increased the price this year to $15 which provides entry to all three race events. That works out to $5 per event which makes our Kids Tri evenings excellent value for money. This is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors. Entries close on Saturday night for Monday's race. If you miss entering before the first race, entries will re-open after Race 1, at the same price, providing entry to races 2 & 3. Remember that one $15 entry enters your child into all three triathlons. 

Racing begins 17h45. All children aged 3 to 7 to report for their race numbers at the Numbering Tent before 17h20 on each Monday. Online registration only until Saturday prior to race day. 

Entrants aged 3 to 7 who have pre-registered online must still come to registration (each week) at the event to check in, at the Numbering Tent. Children aged 8 and over who don't know their race number will be able to check their race number and have the number applied at the Numbering Tent after the 3-5 year old groups have left for the pool to start their races. We ask that you mark your child's race number on their hand and we will mark their race number on their arms in waterproof marker, or, if you're sure your markers are really waterproof, you can mark both arms. If the number washes off in the pool, your child will not receive a result from the timekeepers and may show DNF (did not finish) in the results. Race numbers will be made available before the first race with a link to entries posted here.

Please be early as we are expecting large numbers.
