Rotorua Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon

Post Event Info

Congratulations on completing the Rotorua TRYathlon!

We hope you had an amazing day, despite the wet weather. Thank you to Sport Bay of Plenty, the Rotorua Energy Charitable Trust and Rotorua Lakes Council for helping to make the day possible for so many participants.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT THE ROTORUA TRYATHLON

This year we are asking you to complete two surveys.

The first survey is about your child and their experience of the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon – from your perspective as a parent or guardian. If you had more than one child take part in this year’s event, we ask that you answer the questions in relation to one child in particular. You can take the survey again if you’d like to provide answers for another child.

The second survey is about the TRYathlon in general and your experiences and how we can improve the TRYathlon for next year.
