IRONMAN 70.3 Melbourne, IRONKIDS

Catani Gardens on Beaconsfield Parade provides a clear race-day base in St Kilda for IRONMAN 70.3 Melbourne and its IRONKIDS program, which includes a separate kids run. This event allows families to participate in the same weekend, with younger runners actively involved rather than just watching. For the children, the event features a "Run" discipline, divided into age groups for 7-9 and 10-13. The emphasis is on encouraging participation and movement, not on replicating the full triathlon format. Expect an IRONMAN-organized public event with families and young runners gathered around Catani Gardens, offering a fitting setting for the kids' race to feel like a significant start-line occasion.
