The KidsTRY is back for 2024 and this year’s theme is to Dream big and dare to try. That is what KidsTRY is all about – getting out there, testing yourself and giving it a go.
Run by the Southland Tri Club this event sees around 300 children from all over Southland swim, scooter or bike and run an action-packed course starting at Splash Palace with the finish line in Rugby Park. Total Life has been the named sponsor behind the event since it first started over 23 years ago when they were known as AMP South.
Last year saw the addition of the slide – a quick trip down the hydro slide which proved to be a huge hit and is back again for 2024. The focus is on giving it a go – with different events for different abilities to ensure everyone crosses the finish line with a big smile and a sense of achievement with their new medal. Two major prizes – brand new bikes – as well as other great spot prizes are up for grabs at the finish line.
This year’s theme is to dream big and dare to try – “Absolutely! Dreaming big is the first step towards achieving something remarkable. It’s about having the audacity to imagine beyond what seems possible and then daring to take the necessary actions to turn those dreams into reality.
Whether this is your first KidsTRY or you are back to improve on last year’s performance, daring to try opens up a world of opportunities and growth. So go ahead, dream big, and don’t be afraid to take that leap of faith!” – Justine – Total Life
