Everything you need to know if you're going to the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon

Get ready, East Auckland—The Central East Auckland Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is happening this Sunday!

The action kicks off with a swim at Point England Beach, where participants will make their way through the ocean parallel to the shore. The water is shallow enough for most to stand, but we encourage all TRYathletes to give swimming a go!

Next up, it's on to the bikes for a ride along Riverside Avenue before finishing strong with the run through the scenic Point England Reserve.

It’s all about having fun, giving it your best shot, and soaking up the TRYathlon spirit.
