Wet Weather and Cancellation Policy

The Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon (SWKT) Event Management Team always strives to ensure that each event takes place as advertised. However, with reference to the 2022/23 Series Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon Health and Safety plan, the SWKT Event Management Team reserve the right to alter/cancel any event should circumstances require.

Every effort will be made for those registered to participate in a Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon event as advertised. In exceptional circumstances (for Health & Safety reasons) the event structure may be forced to change to one of the following formats:

  • Duathlon (Run, Bike, Run)
  • Aquathon (Swim, Run)
  • Fun Run Event (Run only)

Alteration/Cancellation of a SWKT event will be determined by SWKT Event Management Team on the morning of the event (or in extreme circumstances prior to the event date).

If an event is to be cancelled, SWKT Event Management Team will endeavour to make this decision prior to 6.30am on the morning of that event. If the course or event format is to be altered, an announcement will be made at the time of the event briefing, 30 mins prior to the event start.

Should the SWKT Event Management Team deem it necessary to modify the course/event or cancel any SWKT event, the following action will be taken:

  • Any change to an event will be communicated to all present via the Series Manager over the Public Address System where it is safe to operate the system.
  • Regular communication of any changes will be provided via the Public Address system where it is safe to operate the system.
  • Any cancellation/amendment occurring on the event date will be broadcast on The Hits (local frequency) on the morning of the event and posted on the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon Facebook page.

In the circumstances of a full cancellation prior to the event date participants will also receive notification via email to the address supplied during registration.

In the event of a complete cancellation of a SWKT event, the SWKT Refund Policy will apply (please see SWKT Refund Policy).
