The Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRY CHALLENGE is a 3-week programme that encourages Kiwi kids aged 5 – 15 years old to get active, and have fun, as they work towards achieving a physical activity goal and earning their Champions medal and TRYathlon t-shirt.
The TRY CHALLENGE can either be organised by schools for their students, or by families for their kids. This new innovative programme is free of charge, with an option to purchase a TRY CHALLENGE T-SHIRT & MEDAL PACK.
