For athletes from ages eight to sixteen
Ponteland Junior Aquathlon is the club's main junior event of the year, and has been a huge success for our own members and the community. We cant wait to do it all again!
Race Categories for TriStars and Youths
Whether your child is dreaming of going to the Games or simply wants to have fun getting active, multisport can be the way get them there.
The event distances are short at between 50 and 400m swim (age dependent) and 500 to 4,000m run. All in the vicinity of Ponteland, with plenty of marshals on hand to help out and ensure competitors stick to the routes.
All that's needed to take part is a swim kit, goggles, and trainers. We'd love to see you there this Summer.
