Grid Kids - Duathlon Series
Ever done a Duathlon before? Do you know what a Duathlon is? It’s like a Triathlon but without the swim! A duathlon involves running and cycling – so if you can ride a bike and have a pair of sneakers you can take part in the Grid Kids Duathlon Series.
Grid Kids is a chance for you to show others what you can do – prove to your friends, family and supporters that you have what it takes to be a Grid Kid – be centre stage on the motor racing circuits around NZ and we will give you a t-shirt, medal and certificate for bragging rights!
The Grid Kids team will be there to cheer you on, along with the V8 racing car teams who will be watching you in Pit Lane as you do your transition from run to bike. What could be more exciting than running and riding around a motor racing circuit with a crowd to cheer you on – you may even get to see yourself on TV.
Grid Kids is all about giving you the chance to be in the spot light and achieve something that you can be proud of!. So grab your shoes, blow the dust and cobwebs off your bike and helmet and get out there with your friends, family and supporters and start preparing for an event near you!
By entering you will receive:
- An event T-shirt
- A race number
- A medal and certificate
- Go into the draw to win some fantastic spot prizes
- Free entry to the motor racing plus 2 adult tickets!
- Autographs from New Zealand’s top drivers
