NORTH ISLAND SCHOOLS
(Year 5 - Year13)
INDIVIDUAL AND TEAMS TRIATHON
SATURDAY 12TH NOVEMBER
Online Entries Close Wednesday 9th November. Late entries (+10) on the day at registration until 8.30am (cash only)
Please note the change of date and distances. Due to other events using the roads around the lake on the 13th we simply couldn't come up with a satisfactory and safe traffic management plan that we could use for our event.
Since your safety is our priority we have made the call to bring the day forward and run in conjunction with the Karapiro Half Ironman.As a result of the move we have a much tighter schedule and have changed some of the distances to fit the event into the day. See Start times and Distances later in the page.
For those who have entered and can't accommodate a change in date we apologise and please contact us for a full refund at info@karapirohalf.co.nz

Entries for the North Island Schools Triathlon Championships are now open
You can enter online and pay securely using your Credit Card or PayPal account.
You must read and agree to the Waiver before you can complete an entry.
Please Note; This event is not sanctioned by the NZ Secondary Schools Sports Council who don't support the timing of the event because it clashes with Senior exams. For 2012 we are doing our best to find a slot in the calendar that will allow sanctioning but it wont be easy. In the mean time you have the opportunity to compete, to race, to chase a medal and have a great day. See you there!!
AIM OF THE EVENT
The triathlon season has always lacked an early/mid season JUNIOR SPECIFIC event so we have decided to put this event on. It isn't sanctioned by the NZ Secondary Schools Sports Council
Not any more! Mass participation in a competitive environment, early season, a wonderful safe course that is also a perfect lead up to the 2012 Waikato BOP Schools events and the 2012 National Schools Championships - both of which are held at Lake Karapiro.
AGE GROUPS AND DISTANCES
Individuals will compete over "age appropriate" distances.
Teams will compete over "hybrid" distances to allow for more races to be held during one day. Years 5-8 TEAMS will use the Y7-8 Individual race distance and all Secondary Schools teams will compete over a "hybrid" course that is a mixture of the Individuals U16 swim/run and the U19 bike legs.
