The Kids WAITRI is a new multi-sports event that aims to get kids active by bringing the experience of gaming off the sofa and into the bush and the paddock.
It introduces kids to triathlon and adventure racing, but has a unique twist. The event is based on a traditional triathlon, but also includes paintball as one of the event disciplines, so kids get to combine their gaming skills with biking and running.
No other event in New Zealand or in the world right now, can offer this activity as part of a kids multi-sport race. If you're finding it difficult to get your kids off the sofa and away from their digital devices - then this is the event for you!
WAITRI also focuses on the environment by giving kids an opportunity to be part of the replenishment and sustainability of the environment by making a valuable contribution to the conservation of Fensham Reserve.
There is a short course for kids, aged 5-7 years old, which will take place in the surrounding paddocks, and a more challenging course for kids aged 8-17 years old, which includes two 3.5km mountain bike legs along a traffic-managed Upper Belvedere Road and a marshalled 2.5km trail run around the Fensham Reserve circuit.
Event organiser SPLASH has adopted the New Zealand Events Sector Voluntary Code addressing Covid-19. This event is outdoors and will proceed under Alert Levels 1 & 2 with total numbers being restricted to 100 participants in each age group category. Under Alert Level 2 conditions, the event timings will change to ensure that participants can take part in separate waves of 10. Participants will be emailed with wave time slots. The event will be postponed to another date if the region goes under Alert Level 3.
