Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon: Nelson

The Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon in Nelson returns to Tahunanui Reserve on 21 February 2027.

The details on this page are based on the previous event and subject to change; we will update this listing as more information comes to hand.

This annual series is designed for Kiwi kids aged 6 to 15 years to help them stay active and healthy through a programme of participation.

The TRYathlon will begins with a swim leg on Tahunanui Beach in the ocean, parallel to the beach. TRYathletes are generally able to stand-up during the short swim, however everyone is encourages to give swimming a go! The Transition area is located on the recreation fields. The bike leg is around the streets surrounding Tahunanui Recreation Ground, and the run leg is around Tahunanui Recreation Ground itself.

The triathlon can be done solo or in a team of two; in two person teams, one team member completes the swim, one team member completes the cycle and both complete the run.

There is also a 'Splash n Dash' aquathon event for 6 year olds.
