Good morning Sunners,

Buckle yourselves in because it's going to be an action-packed Sunday!

About 700 youngsters, aged seven to 15, will be racing around the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon's new Mount venue this morning.

This year's event is taking place one month earlier at a new location – Pilot Bay – under the umbrella of this weekend's inaugural Mount festival of Multisport.

Seven-year-olds participate in a 50m swim, 4km cycle and 1.5km run; those eight-10 do a 100m swim, 4km cycle and 1.5km run; and 11-15-year-olds complete a 200m swim, 8km cycle and 1.5 km run, with TRYathlon ambassadors Ella Williams, Alison Shanks and Cameron Brown cheering every child across the finishline.

Sunday registrations, costing $42.50, are permitted between 7am-8am, with an event briefing 8.30am before it starts at 9am. To learn more, see www.try.weetbix.co.nz
