New TriKidz 5-6yrs event in 2026
In 2026, the Shimano Huskisson Triathlon Festival is proud to introduce an exciting new event: Tri Kids 5–6yrs. Designed especially for our youngest budding triathletes, this entry-level experience offers a fun, safe, and supportive introduction to the world of triathlon. The course includes a short splash in the shallows of Jervis Bay, a flat bike ride along a secure, closed path, and a short run to the finish—perfectly tailored to suit the energy and ability of 5 and 6-year-olds.
The focus of Tri Kids 5–6yrs is on fun and participation, not competition. Every child is encouraged to give it a go, with cheering crowds, upbeat music, and enthusiastic volunteers making it a memorable moment. Parents are welcome to run alongside for support, and the course will be fully marshalled to ensure the highest safety standards. Each participant will receive a finisher’s medal and a huge round of applause at the finish line.
Adding the Tri Kids event further strengthens the family-friendly vibe of the Shimano Husky Tri Festival. It’s an opportunity for younger siblings to join in the action, while creating positive early experiences with sport, fitness, and community involvement. Whether your little one dreams of racing like their older siblings or simply wants to enjoy the thrill of the event, Tri Kids 5–6yrs is the perfect start to their triathlon journey.
