DISTANCES:

Short Distance Kids Triathlon
100m swim, 2km cycle, 500m run
Ages 7 – 11 years

The short distance includes the family wave which allows parents/guardians* of participants to swim alongside their child and assist in transition. Chaperones must wait in transition during the cycle leg, and then can join the child for the run leg and finish line moment. *Limit to one adult entry per registered child, adult must be 18 years or over to be included.

Long Distance Kids Triathlon
200m swim, 4km cycle, 1km run
Ages 10 – 15 years

Kids who are more experienced and aged 12+ may be interested in competing in the Busselton Foreshore Triathlon instead. The Busselton Foreshore is a more competitive, timed event. Please note that the Foreshore Triathlon does not have a participation medal for every finisher.

Please note that the minimum age for Long distance has been lowered to reflect the updated AusTriathlon Race Competition rules, in effect from November 2023.

HOW TEAMS WORK:

Teams can be made up of 2 or 3 people. In a team of 3 people: 1 person swims, 1 person bikes and 1 person runs. You each take turns so that only one person is on course at any given time. In a team of 2 people, one person does 2 legs of the race and the other person does one. If you want to do all 3 legs of the race, you’ll need to enter as an individual. When registering your team, make sure to assign each person their role. You’ll pay for the team once ALL team members are in the system and have roles assigned. During the race you swap over in transition. On the last lap of the run leg, all team members can meet at the ‘team meeting point’ to cross the finish line together!
