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. 

Monday night events: Racing begins 17:45. All children aged 3 to 7 to report for their race numbers at the Numbering Tent before 17:20 on each Monday. Race briefing at 17:30. Online registration only until Saturday prior to race day. 

Sunday afternoon event: Racing begins 14:15. All children aged 3 to 7 to report for their race numbers at the Numbering Tent before between 13:15 and 13:50. Race briefing at 14:00. Online registration only until Friday12:00, 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. Or, you can check the number yourself and mark your own child's number on their arms at the start-list space next to the Numbering Tent. Both arms should be marked with the race number and start wave letter.
