Event Info
WHEN:
26 February 2012
WHERE:
Woodall Park, North Shore City
The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon in the North Shore is located at Narrowneck Beach Reserve, on the beautiful North Shore coastline. Following the race briefing near the Weet-Bix container, Tryathletes make their way to the beach. The swim is located in the sea, and runs parallel to the beach. Tryathletes are generally able to stand-up during the short swim; however, we do encourage everyone to give swimming a go! The Transition Area is located in the heart of the reserve, and the bike and run legs of the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon around the field and surrounding streets.

You will then finish the cycle by bringing your bike back into the Transition Area through the 'Cycle Finish' and starting your run at the 'Run Start'.
