Children from across Northland converged on Waitangi on Sunday for the annual Bay of Islands Weet-Bix kids TRYathlon.
A record for the largest number of competitors was achieved at last weekend's event with 1402 children swimming, biking and running. Those who took part received a participation medal from sporting stars like Portia Woodman from the Black Ferns, Jeet Raval from the Black Caps and Sam Meech, a national sailor.
