There’s plenty of fun ways to prepare kids for the triathlon season ahead, including Aus3.
Our Aus3 program is a fun online program designed to get kids moving, whether that’s swimming lessons, a bike ride with the family, a run with friends, or any other active adventure.
All they have to do is simply create their own avatar, log their activity minutes, and start unlocking rewards. The more they move, the more accessories and power-ups they earn. Every swim, ride, and run helps their avatar travel across Australia, discover new places and learn new skills along the way.
So here are a couple of new events entering the fold.
Greater Geelong Junior Triathlon
The Greater Geelong Junior Triathlon on 24 October 2026 is set to be a day of fierce competition, fast racing and plenty of action. This fantastic initiative by JK Training is the perfect way to bring the next generation of triathletes together and spark some intense racing as they battle it out for prime position.
Hosted at the Eastern Beach in Geelong, this race will act as a key Victorian selection event for the 2027 National Championships and will provide the junior triathletes with an opportunity to test themselves on a similarly designed course reflective of a national championship experience.
But you don’t have to by vying for national selection to compete. With races suitable for kids aged 12-17 there’s an option for anyone willing to give triathlon a go. Combine your love for swimming, running and biking.
