For the grown-ups

Built the way parents would build it

  • Parent-owned accounts. Kids play on supervised profiles you control.
  • No ads. No chat with strangers. No purchases in the app.
  • No pressure mechanics. No streak-shaming, no public leaderboards — effort boards are opt-in and first-name only.
  • Camera missions stay on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, recorded or analysed.
  • Participation first. Races are untimed for kids — you time your own kid with the app if you like.

Questions? Ask Dash in the corner — or a real human at [email protected].

Q&A

Parents ask, we answer

How old does my child need to be?

TriKids is built for kids aged 6–11. The 2XU Series kids races cater for ages 7–11 — younger kids can train with us and play the app until they're race-age.

Do they need to be sporty already?

Not at all. Most TriKids start as beginners. If they can ride a bike and are comfortable in water, we'll take it from there — the app and our coaches teach everything else.

What does the $89 membership include?

The starter pack (race rashie + cap), race-day tent access at all five rounds, the TriKids app for the whole season, the in-app Season Champion medal journey, and partner discounts. Race entries are separate.

Is the app safe for my kid?

Yes — accounts belong to parents, kids play on supervised profiles, and there are no ads, no in-app purchases, no open chat and no public rankings. Camera missions never leave your phone.

When can we download the app?

The app launches with the season in December. Join now and your family's access is ready on day one — we'll email you the moment it's live.

Where do you train?

Albert Park and Elwood, with Wednesday and Saturday sessions during programs. Race days run on the 2XU Triathlon Series beaches: Elwood, St Kilda and Sandringham.
