The Sunday Times Chillout! TADPOLES Junior Multisport Series
The aim of The Sunday Times Chillout! TADPOLES Junior Multisport Series is to encourage and inspire children to adopt a healthy lifestyle whilst enjoying the experience and teach them that exercise can be fun.
These events provide children aged 7 to 11 the opportunity to swim, cycle and run for enjoyment. It doesn’t matter how good they are at sport, it gives them the chance to challenge themselves, get healthy and active and boost their self esteem. The events aren’t timed, there’s no results, it’s all about participation and having a go. Every participant receives a Finishers Medal at the end of each event.
The Sunday Times Chillout! TADPOLE Series includes three different formats of multisport, Triathlon, Aquathlon and Duathlon each conducted over age appropriate distances.
