Minimus/ Tetrathalon News

About Tetrathalon/ Minimus

Tetrathalon and Minimus has been very successful within KHPC over the past number of years from the boys and girls teams in Minimus(U12) to Junior(U15) and Senior teams(U21). Members participating in Tetrathalon/ Minimus enjoy it immensely and it is truly a team sport with different members of the team excelling in certain phases and weaker in other phases with the combined team effort forming the end result. Training for Minimus and Tetrathalon typically starts in Spring time. All members are welcome to join the swimming and running training. There are also a number of competitions held other than the Championships normally held in April/May/June in Kells, Kilkenny and Mullingar.

The head of Tetrathalon is Seamus Delaney (087/2283836).

The head of Minimus is Sara Egan (087/2232244).

Minimus is for children under 12 on the year they wish to compete. There are 3 stages, swimming for 2 minutes (unaided), running 1000meters cross country, and cross country riding (fences no bigger than 75cm).

It is a great way for kids and parents to meet. Last year we took 40 kids to compete and a great weekend was had by all. We always aim to bring everyone but they must be able and confident at riding as no help can be given on the day, but with training this is possible. I can be contacted anytime on 087/2232244, please text me with your childs name, age, and D.O.B & you will receive regular texts from me or you can check this web page, talk soon Sara Egan.
