Choose category MM (Males Mate Wave) or WW (Women’s Mate Wave) and battle it out. This is a fun/social category, and is not awarded medals or series points.

First Timer The Courier-Mail Kool Kids Triathlon Kids
If your child is new to triathlon, or is a little unsure of competing against competitive kids - this is the category for your child! After a couple of races your child will be ready to progress into their own age category in The Courier-Mail Kool Kids Triathlon.
