REGISTRATION
The Puzzling World Mini Challenge, supported by Sport Central, is open to all children under 5 years old. Participants will get to ride, slide and stride their way to the finish line where the red carpet and official event chute will be waiting. All participants will receive a certificate and medal for taking part.
It is encouraged that each participant has one caregiver to take part alongside them.
The course will be:
- Ride (scoot/bike) 200m-400m
- Slide (waterslide) 15m
- Stride (Run/ Walk/ Dance) 300m
Perfect for tiny humans ready to run, wheel or wobble with pride, the Mini Challenge brings the joy of sport to life with laughter, cheers and community spirit. Whether your child cruises in on a balance bike or skips across the finish line, it’s all about participation, confidence and fun!
Part of the Gallagher Insurance Challenge Wānaka Festival — where kids of all ages get active, have fun and discover the thrill of giving sport a go.
