World biggest IronKids to make a splash in Nelson Mandela Bay

Riddle: What’s red, white and a winner? A Pritt IronKid of course! Yes, it’s once again time for the world’s biggest IronKids event and it is taking place in Nelson Mandela Bay on Saturday 21 April! You’ll be hard-pressed to find more fun and excitement than at Pritt IronKids  and with 1000 spirited kids once again hitting the pool and the road, there will be no better place to be on Saturday, April 21st.
 
This fun event aims to instil a love of sports in children from an early age encouraging youngsters to get outdoors and participate in a fun event that promotes a healthy, active lifestyle. In today’s digital age, children are spending more time indoors in front of television and computer screens when the real fun is to be had outside. Apart from the obvious health benefits of actively participating in physical outdoor activities, there is always a chance of discovering a hidden talent or passion.
 
Pritt IronKids is an aquathlon made up of swim and run components. The kids in the 6 – 9 age group swim 60 metres and run 1.2km while those in the 10 – 13 age group swim 100 metres and run 2km. Each and every IronKids athlete is a winner as the focus is on fun, therefore no times are taken. The fun and excitement begins at McArthur Baths as the kids hit the pool before finishing on the very same finish line where their Ironman heroes and heroines will finish the next day.

Entries to this ever popular event are limited so get online to www.ironkids.co.za now to enter! Entry fee is only R150. All entrants receive a Pritt IronKids t-shirt and swim cap and every finisher receives a Pritt IronKids finisher medal, goodie bag and certificate.
 
One of the world’s greatest athletes, multiple Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong, started out in IronKids all those years ago. Who knows, we might just unearth the next triathlon great from the Pritt IronKids in Nelson Mandela Bay this April!
