Races
Over the season, we anticipate there will be up to 12 race events for our registered TRYstars.
Currently in the program we are looking at hosting races at Point Walter in conjunction with Steve Doyles race, 2 mini triathlons on Tuesday nights instead of training sessions and 2 aquathons on Friday nights. These are not compulsory but a lot of fun for the athletes to try out their new skills. We will also be having our annual Christmas party on 20th of December and the wind up party on the 20th of March. As a club we also encourage all TryStars to participate in other races on the TWA calendar like the Tadpole events by TriEvents and the TryStars Interclub race.
NOTE:It is a requirement that the children can swim the required distance prior to entering a TRYstar event.
- To compete in a TRYstars event, you will need the following items:
- Swim: Bathers, Goggles, Swim Cap
- Bike: Helmet & Bike (a mountain, BMX or road bike are all suitable)
- Run: Running shoes and shirt to cover over bathers
- Towel
- If the TRYstar chooses to wear a proper triathlon race outfit they do not require a shirt to be worn over top.
The race distances for each age group is as follows:
| Age Group | 7-9 Years | 10-11 Years | 12-15 Years |
| Swim Distance | 50 metres | 100 metres | 200 metres |
| Cycle Distance | 3 kms | 3 or 6 kms | 9 kms |
| Run Distance | 500 metres | 1 km | 2 kms |
At any TRYstars event the distance will be for participants aged 7-11 years old. If your child is 12 by December 31, 2011 then they are going to be racing as Juniors at the TWA events over the season and not in the TRYstars program. For details on these events you can go to Sports Performance or TriEvents and check out the schedule/costs/distances.
For further information regarding the Fremantle Triathlon Club TRYstars program contact the club’s TRYstar coordinator or send an email to the club.
We look forward to seeing you there!
