The race begins on Saturday, May 6 at 9am with check-in from 7.30am to 8.45am at Town Green.
Always well received by the kids of the Mid North Coast, IronKids is a mainstay on the event calendar.
Commentator and former Port Macquarie triathlete Peter Murray loves cheering the kids on.
“It’s a very special part of the weekend. It allows the children to be apart of a world class Ironman event, and allows them to be active,” he said.
“It promotes an active, healthy lifestyle. The kids love it and they have an absolute blast. It’s always a lot of fun.”
Mr Murray said Port Macquarie is renowned for having one of the biggest groups of Ironkids, mainly because of the history of the race.
