Event # 2 - 12 March 2023 Mitre 10 Sportspark
Triathlon HB are so excited to bring you ronkids Events for Hawkes Bay tamariki in 2023.
These are always popular events and the aim is to see if you can beat your own time. There are different distances for different ages and kids can participate as individuals or 3 person teams in the triathlon.
Super safe environment with a swim at the amazing HB Aquatic Centre and cycling and running on the sports fields and perimetre pathway.
This year we have events for 7 - 19 year olds - so definitely something for everyone!
There is an Aquathlon (swim/run for the older kids aged 14-18 years).
Great way to be out there and get active and where else can you practise your transitions and have fun? As a community, not for profit charitable organisation, we have kept entry fees as low as possible and you will be part of a professionally run, timed, super fun event. Only $15 for Napier Port Multisport Youth Squad members and $25 for non members and $45 for 3 person teams. All welcome.
We encourage everybody to give it a TRI!
