This event, involving run and cycle stages, is for individual entrants aged 7 to 15 years old.
The Rotary Club of Garden City has organised this event for many years to promote the development of healthy, fun loving and well adjusted young people.
Our emphasis is on participation rather than competition and in line with this, all entries go in a lucky draw for two mountain bikes and helmets.
All competitors will on the day receive a competition shirt, which they must wear to compete as well as a medal, certificate and goodie bag.

Online entries are now open with full information available at www.mcdonaldsduathlon.co.nz
