Sunday's races start with TriStars Children's Aquathlons for children aged 8 to 14. The schedule will start with a TriStar Start race for 8 year olds (100m swim and 600m run), followed by a series of races over increasing distances for older children. Youth competitors (age 15-16) can take part in the super-sprint distance triathlon.
Children aged 8 to 14 with some open water swimming experience. Suitable for all levels of experience from novice to experienced athletes.
Please note: Ages are taken on 31st December 2025. For example, if an 8 year old has their birthday in December they should enter the TriStar 1 (age 9-10) race.
