Tauriko School Duathlon – Sunday 20^th March 2016

On Sunday 20^th March, Tauriko School PTA will be holding a Duathlon at The Lakes Boulevard, The Lakes. 

It’s looking to be a great event with the generous support of The Lakes Tauranga and Smiths Sports Shoes.

Entry is just $5 and the day is planned to start at 8.30am for registration, with race briefing and events starting at 9.00am. 

There are five categories ranging from preschool, through to 13 years and over. Not only will all entrants receive a certificate of participation, but for the more competitive entrants, medals will be up for grabs for the place getters of each year. 

Course maps are available on the PTA section of the school website here for those who wish to trial the courses in advance. 

For those that are ready to start practising, the distances for each group include:
