Limited to 40 teams.

👯 Racing with a Buddy
The MiniRox and Half Sim are duo races only, because racing together is half the fun! Every ticket is for a team of two.

Grab a friend, sibling or cousin to race with. If you don't have a buddy, you can team up with a parent instead. Parents racing as a partner use the same weights as the kids.

Kids don't need a parent with them on the course. Our volunteers will be at every station to help and cheer each team on.

Heats are grouped by age: 8–9, 10–11, 12–13 and 14–16. Mixed-age teams race in the older buddy's age group, and parent teams race in their child's age group.

🏅 The Kids Race Experience

• Warm-up with the Ora team 15 minutes before the MiniRox and Half Sim heats start

• Race bibs with your name, and the MC calls you across the finish line

• A finisher medal for every MiniRox and Half Sim racer

• Goodies from our sponsors

• Medal photos at our photo wall 📸

• Stay and cheer on the older kids, and soak up the Fit Fest atmosphere!

There are no podiums for the Kids Race. It's all about giving it a go!

16 and ready for more? Keep an eye out for future Fit Fest events at adult standards.

Kids Race tickets are subject to the same Refund & Transfer Policy below.
