Kids aged 6-15 of all sporting abilities swim, cycle, and run their way around age-appropriate courses, either individually or as part of a team of two.
The Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is designed for Kiwi kids aged 6-15 years to help them stay active and healthy through a programme of participation.
The Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is one of Aotearoa’s most beloved sporting events for kids—and it’s easy to see why. With thousands of young participants across the country, it’s a chance for tamariki to swim, bike and run their hearts out in a supportive, fun-filled environment that’s all about trying their best.
Held in stunning Tāhunanui, Nelson’s event brings the buzz of race day to life with cheering crowds, high-fives from local heroes, and a whole lot of proud whānau. It’s not about who wins—it’s about finishing with a grin, and knowing you gave it your all.
Designed for kids of all abilities aged 6–15, the TRYathlon builds confidence, fitness, and friendships. Whether it’s their first time or their fifth, every participant walks away with a medal, a smile, and a memory they’ll never forget.
So grab the bike, pack the togs, and get ready for a big day of big effort and big fun. Let’s give it a TRY, Nelson Tasman style!
