Merrin School is registered and on-line entries are open.

Our school has registered as a school group for the Christchurch Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon. There are two events in Christchurch, a morning event, and an afternoon event being held on Sunday 28th February at Jellie Park.  Merrin School is registered for the morning event.  

The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is for Kiwi kids of all sporting abilities who are aged between 6 and 15. 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 https://tryathlon.co.nz/locations/christchurch/for for more information and to register online.

When you register online don't forget to link to Merrin School - this gives the school a chance to win fantastic prizes. You can also register a child who is not yet 6 but will be on the day of the event.

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 really is a great event and very achievable for children of all ages and abilities. If you are concerned about the swimming the children are able to use kick boards and there a large number of 'life guards' in the pool to assist the children.
