The organisers of Ironkidz Taupō, a fun children's triathlon, are determined for it to go ahead even if restrictions mean it will be a virtual event.
Organiser Cara Constable says the event is for all children, regardless of ability, and is all about having fun.
"It's also really important that kids are getting out and getting active, off the screens, and it's only half a day," she says.
Ironkidz, in its 23rd year in Taupō, is for children aged 7 to 15. It includes a Splash & Dash (50m swim and 550m run ) for 5- to 7-year-olds to have a go and an elite category for more serious athletes. Children can enter as individuals or in teams.
"It's always a very positive and loud atmosphere, there's always lots of cheering and I've never seen any negative behaviour."
