This event is suitable for absolute beginners and for those wanting to give a super short triathlon a go.

We also have loads of spot prizes to give away (no prizes for placings) and these will be handed out randomly at the finish line. Each finisher gets a free lollies, Kiwi Garden yoghurt drops and a muesli bar and a there is a super cheap entry fee to encourage people to give it a go.
