Splash & Dash

What is the SPLASH & DASH?

Specially designed for 6 year old Kiwi kids, the Splash & Dash will see our budding TRYathletes complete a 50m pool swim followed by a 1500m run, before crossing the finish line to receive their champion’s medal from one of New Zealand’s’ top sporting stars.

The Splash & Dash is the perfect preparation for the full TRYathlon.

Spaces are strictly limited so make sure you enter today. Participants must be 6 years old on the day of the event to be eligible to participate.

The course:

Swim: The swim is 50m long in the shallowest end of the pool or beach. Kick-boards will be available and there will be lifeguards in the water at all times.

Transition: On completing the swim they will then run into the Transition area, change into their shoes, towel and their Weet-Bix event T-Shirt (which you would have laid out for them prior to the event starting). Our Haier Help team will be on hand in the Transition area to assist them in getting changed and tying their shoelaces. Parents of Splash & Dash participants will be able to meet their child in Transition and assist with getting them ready for the run. Details on this will be shared in the event day guides and in the Splash & Dash event day briefing.

Run: The children will then complete the 1500m run, on their own, to complete the Splash & Dash, and receive their champion’s medal. Parents will be able to wait at the finish line to cheer them on.

It’s all about getting creative and having some fun while you stay active and healthy.

How does it work?

All you have to do is create and complete your own TRYathlon! You get to choose:

what you do
how far you go
when you do it
where you do it
who you TRY DIY with – by yourself, with a friend, with your family, with your entire class, school or street!

The opportunities are endless. It’s up to you.

Our TRY DIY guide will help you along the way, to get the guide {click here.}

Due to the re-emergence of COVID-19 in the community (in Auckland) we have cancelled the [INSERT EVENT NAME HERE] Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon. Unfortunately, the event cannot be rescheduled.

The health and wellbeing of the community is our first priority and despite the additional safeguards and measures we have put in place for our TRYathlon events, there is now a heightened risk of further community transmission that we are unable to safely manage.

Over the last 6 months we have been planning for a number of scenarios, and whilst we are able to hold the TRYathlon under current Ministry of Health guidelines, we are taking a cautious approach given the uncertainty around the current COVID-19 outbreak, our event delivery team being largely Auckland based, the number of people that attend our event and the fact that we are unable to maintain physical distancing at our event.

We have a proud safety record and pride ourselves on delivering a quality event experience for our families which we do not wish to compromise. We know that you and your child will be extremely disappointed but we hope that you understand.

Please check your email, where we have outlined your options according to your entry type.
