What's it all about?
The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is run by the Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing Company and is all
about participation. It's about getting out there, having a go and achieving a
personal best.
The event is open to everyone aged between 7 and 15, and consists of a
swim, followed by a cycle and a run.
Registering for an Event
Event entrants can enter as an Individual, which means you swim,
bike and run (in that order), or as part of a Team. Teams can be
made up of either two or three participants.
For a team of three, each team member will do one leg of the event. The options are:
a swim, bike or run. For a team of two, one of the participants will do two of the
three legs (swim, bike, run) and the other will do the remaining leg.
Registrations for the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon take place online. If you
don't have access to the internet, you can also register by calling our
Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon Customer Services centre.
The cut-off for all Wednesday events is Midday two days before the event,
and the cut-off for all Sunday events is Midday three days before the event
or when the event reaches capacity (whichever is first).
For a Sunday event, this is Midday on the Thursday before race day.
For a Wednesday event, this is Midday on the Monday before race day.
At all events, entries are capped for Health and Safety reasons therefore, it is
important to enter early. Some events do fill up quickly, particularly our St Heliers
and Christchurch events.
Payment
Entry fees are payable by credit card or direct debit. We do not accept cheques.
Direct Credit payments (internet banking) are accepted up until 48 hours
before event close. However they do incur a manual processing
fee of $3. If you choose to pay by internet banking, your entry will
not be complete until we confirm we have received your payment (we will send you
an email at this time).
When you register, along with the relevant account details, you will be provided
with a reference to include in your internet banking payment. This will assist
us in ensuring your payment is able to be confirmed promptly. Your registration will be
forfeited if we have not received your payment 48 hours prior to the event.
Withdrawing from an Event
Withdrawing from an event is at the Event Manager's discretion, and a refund is not automatically
awarded. Before entering an event, please ensure you are familiar with our
Refund policy. Due to the administration
involved, a $10 Administration fee will be deducted from any refunds awarded.
In some circumstances, you may be able to transfer to a different event within the same series that
has not yet taken place. To see which events you can transfer to, log in to My Try.
Due to the administration involved, there is a small charge of $3 to transfer to another event.
One more thing...
It's important that all entrant details are double-checked, including your name,
as this will appear on your Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon certificate.
