Please note that event start times are approximate. Participants should be at the start line ready to race 15 minutes prior to start time for the pre-race talk.
See our handy Il Girolino Checklist.

Please help your child decide which event they will feel most comfortable participating in and indicate your choice on the registration form.

Course Description
All three events take place on Hastings Street (which is closed to traffic from 9:00am - 3:00 pm between Holdom Avenue and Boundary Road for the Hats Off Day celebrations!)

It is a Dash and Pedal event - kids will dash from the Start line (north corner of Alpha and Hastings) to the Bike Transition Area, grab their bikes and return to Hastings Street to pedal the required distance to the Finish line (south corner of Alpha and Hastings).
