Triathlon Queensland’s All Schools Triathlon will return to the shores of Lake Kawana on Sunday, 6 November.
The event is a selection race for juniors in South East Queensland, who will compete for their chance to represent their region at the Queensland Schools Sport Triathlon Championships, to be held in Hervey Bay next February. Five regional representative teams will be selected following the All Schools Triathlon, including Met North, Met East, Met West, Sunshine Coast and South Coast regions.
Add a protected swim in Lake Kawana and closed roads for the ride and run to the mix and the 2016 All Schools Triathlon is a must do on the junior triathlon calendar.
Selection Races
Primary Aquathlon (10-11 years) 1km run - 200m swim - 1km run
Junior Triathlon (12-13 years) 400m swim - 12km ride - 3km run
Intermediate Triathlon (14-15 years) 600m swim - 16km bike - 4km run
Senior Triathlon (16-18 years) 750m swim - 20km bike - 5km run
If the results from last year are anything to go by the All Schools Triathlon is a good indication on who to watch when it comes to the Queensland School Sport Triathlon Championships and the School Sport Australia Triathlon National Championships, with many 2015 All Schools place getters going on to claim podium spots.
In 2015, one of the most popular events was the Kids Aquathlon for children aged 7-9 years old, including a 500m run, 100m swim and finishing with another 500m run. While it is not a selection race, it’s the perfect introduction to triathlon for the younger kids. The course provides a great view for parents and a safe closed course with limited wave numbers, making for the best first time experience. Get the kids signed up and watch them cross the finish line with a massive smile!
