Unique to WRTR is our Kids Athletics Program. While Mum & Dad take on the trails*, sign the kids in with our qualified coaches to enjoy a morning of Run, Jump & Throw!
​
No athletics experience is required, our coaches will teach drills and techniques.
​
All participants will receive their own bib and a certificate of completion.
​
*The event schedule will allow parents to sign their kids into the Athletics program, enjoy the fun run, and be back in good time for sign out. Please note the challenge run will start before the kids athletics sign in so please arrange an alternative guardian if you wish to run the longer distance.
Example Program
8:00am - 8:15am
Check in and warm up activities
Early Learning Centre Staff from Neighbourhood ELC will greet you and your child, give them their own special bib and warm them up with some fun games.
8:15am - 8:40am
Activity One
Our Athletics Australia Coaches will teach your children how to race down the runway, power through the take off and soar through the air! After some coaching tips and techniques, we will test their skills with a measured jump.
8:40am - 8:50am
Drink & Toilet Break
Exercise is thirsty work. Please make sure your child has their own water bottle, labelled with their name.
8:50am - 9:20am
Activity Two
Next our coaches will show our RockStars how to use their entire body to "get down low before they throw". We will teach our budding athletes how to use the power of their legs to throw a really long way. And then we will test their skills with a measured throw.
9:20am - 9:30am
Morning Tea Break
Our team from Neighbourhood ELC will provide some delicious and healthy snacks for our mini-athletes.
9:30am - 9:55am
Activity Three
Powered from their snack break, our coaching team will teach our RockStars the fundamentals of sprinting like their favourite olympians. They'll practice speedy starts; rapid acceleration and holding their form right to the end. We will finish the morning with a little race.
9:55am - 10:00am
Celebrations, Certificates and Collection
All participants will receive a certificate and we will have some spot prizes on hand to recognise and reward participation.
​Please sign your child out at 10am, and enjoy the stalls and activities on hand at the event village
*3-5 year olds require an accompanying adult, included in the entry fee.
