Hey kids - It's your turn! Here is a chance to give triathlon a try. See if you've got what it takes to get to the finish line…we think you can do it.
Hey parents - Here is a chance for your young athletes to try something a little different by putting a swim, bike, and run together in one event. We have designed a safe course with plenty of adult supervision that will be fun for the kids to challenge. The 200-yard swim will be in the river in a shallow area near shore with plenty of adult swimmer support. The 4.5-mile bike leg is all on a bike path, except for a short portion in the boat ramp parking lot which will be heavily barricaded and controlled. Helmets are required during the bike ride. The 1-mile run will be completely on a foot path. 7 & 8 year olds will bike and run half of this distance.
It's a triathlon that starts with a swim, goes directly into a bike, and then finishes with the run. Once the starting gun goes off, the action is non-stop and doesn't end until the run is completed. The 9 to 12 year olds will finish a course that consists of a 200 yard swim, 4.5 mile bike and a one-mile run. The 7 and 8 year olds will do the same swim, but bike and run half the distance of the older kids.
