Healthy kids need to Push Play for at least 60 minutes each day - that's activity to make them huff and puff!  Broken into chunks, it soon adds up.  It's a good move for their development too.

Upcoming Events for Kids

Weetbix Kids Tryathlon is set for Sunday March 14th at QEII Park.

The event is open to everyone aged between 7 and 15, and consists of a swim, followed by a cycle and a run. There are no place-getters in the Weet-Bix Tryathlon, as the event is non-competitive and designed to encourage participation. Every entrant, both Team members and Individuals, receives a T-shirt, a Medal and a Certificate.
Event entrants can enter as an Individual, which means you swim, bike and run (in that order), or as part of a Team.
For more information see the Weetbix Kids Tryathlon website.

Tiddlers Multisport Series

Tiddlers Multisport was created to offer young children the opportunity to participate and enjoy multisport events such as the fast growing triathlon and duathlon races.
The difference with Tiddlers to other large organised events is that Tiddlers focuses on the under seven age group and is non-profit making.  Our activities are fun, low key and encourages all ages and abilities to have a go and have some fun!

All entrants receive a plastic medal and certificate on race completion, with special acknowledgement to the fastest boy and girl in each age group.
Next race is set for Sunday February 28th, at Rawhiti Domain in New Brighton.  For more information see the Tiddlers Multisport website.
