Merrin School is registered and online entries are now open!

Our school has registered as a school group for the Christchurch Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon on Sunday, 22nd Feb 2026 at Jellie Park.

The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is for Kiwi kids of all sporting abilities who are aged between 6 and 15. You can also register a child who is not yet six but will be on the day of the event.

Children can enter as individuals and do all three legs of the TRYathlon by themselves or in a team of two and do either the swim/run or bike/run with a friend.

Please check out This Link for more information, or follow this link directly to register with Merrin School: Merrin School Group

Those who have entered before should have received an email from Weetbix reminding you to register. When you register online, don't forget to link to Merrin School - this gives the school a chance to win fantastic prizes. 

This event was a sell-out last year, so please register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. There are also early-bird discounts on the entry fees for those who enter early.

It is a great event and achievable for children of all ages and abilities. If you are concerned about the swimming, the children can use kickboards, and there are a large number of 'lifeguards' in the pool to assist the children. 

I am registered as the school coordinator with Weetbix, so if there are any issues, please let me know - Brodie Ridler; sport@merrin.school.nz
