Great fun for kids and spectators. Categories include 7-9 years and 10-11 years, and a First Timers Kool Kid Category specifically for Kids doing their first ever triathlon. See below for more information on the Kool Kids First Timers category.

Teams - Come along and join the fun of the Gatorade Queensland Tri Series without having to complete the whole course yourself.  Teams can be made up of 2 or 3 people.  Looking for a team-mate? Visit our Teams Matching page.

Clydesdales - The chance for the guys to race against people their own size not their age - two categories available (90-99kg & 100+kg). This year watch out for the weigh-in at presentations!

Race your mates!
If you wish to toe the line with your mate/s or your arch rival to race side by side, it's possible to enter a mate’s wave in the Gatorade QTS Triathlon. 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 Kool 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 Kool Kids event. Please note that no series points are awarded to this category to ensure that the category is used for first-timers only and does not become competitive.
