Event Overview
The Pho3nix Kids Gold Coast Triathlon is held on Saturday 11 April 2026 at Broadwater Parklands in Southport, Queensland. It is a free, fun, participation-based, non-competitive event designed specifically for children and junior athletes. The day features multiple race options including a Kids Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquathlon, and a 1km Fun Run, providing a range of participation opportunities for young competitors. Each child receives a t-shirt, a swimming cap and a finisher’s medal as part of their participation package.
What the Course Demands
This event is positioned as short and accessible, with a course designed to support safe participation across all three legs. The 100m/1.2km/500m format rewards participants who can settle quickly after the swim and maintain steady movement through the bike-to-run transition. The condensed distances allow young athletes to focus on controlled pacing and smooth progression between disciplines while completing the full triathlon structure.
Who This Event Suits Best
The event suits young athletes seeking a structured introduction to sprint-style multisport racing at junior distance. It is appropriate for participants comfortable completing swim, bike and run in sequence, and for those building confidence within a supervised race environment. The short-format design makes it accessible for first-time triathletes while still reflecting the full three-discipline race experience.
