The major children's athletic competitions in New Zealand are the North Island and South Island Colgate Games.  These are each held over 3 days in January at a different location each year.

The 2026 North Island Colgate Games will be held at Tauranga Domain from the the 9th - 11th January 2026

Any athlete from grade 7 to 14 is able to attend and compete in up to 4 events (plus relays), so we will be encouraging as many people as possible to join us at these major events.
