TriKidz Aquathon
The Elite Energy TriKidz race formats have become renowned for their fun, inclusive and supportive atmosphere. It’s a brilliant spectacle when the aspiring athletes line up at the water’s edge with mum & dad there to encourage them, along with other family and friends.
The event focuses on participation and encouraging a healthy active and fun lifestyle from an early age. It doesn’t matter what you think your athletic abilities are, we encourage you to join in the FUN.

| Is this event suitable for beginners? | Absolutely! The TriKidz program is perfect for first-timers and offers a fun, family-friendly activity for the weekend. Our team and volunteers are on hand to answer questions and guide participants through the swim, bike, and run stages. The event is non-competitive, so there’s no timing involved. Every child who participates will receive a medal at the finish line, making it all about enjoying the experience and having fun! |
| What happens after I register my child? | About a month before the event, families will receive an Event Guide via email, which includes all the key details you’ll need. If you have questions before then, feel free to contact us at office@eliteenergy.com.au. |
| What should we bring? | Here’s a suggested checklist:
|
| What should my child wear? | A swimsuit and some comfortable clothes for running will work perfectly. |
| Does my child need a specific type of bike? | No special bike is required! Whether it’s a two-wheeler, a bike with training wheels, or a balance bike, as long as it’s in good working condition, it’ll do the job. |
