Kids Triathlon
Kids Triathlon: This will be a FREE, fun and non-competitive event to introduce your kids to the sport of Triathlon. It will include a little swim/splash through the lake, a short bike around Horseshoe Lake park and a final run along the trails. We will still require you to register your child and they will be required to pay the USAT fee since it is a sanctioned event. We will set them up in transition, give them a swim cap, body mark them and make them feel like a real triathlete. They will receive a Finisher’s Tshirt and big Medal BLING so they can feel proud of their accomplishment!
Let’s give our kids a chance to fall in love with Multi-sport. There’s nothing more fun and exciting than to see happy, proud, young faces crossing the finish line – you might just see a future superstar triathlete blossoming into the sport!
The Kids Triathlon is FREE and includes a gift and an awesome medal for the kids so they can brag about their well-earned accomplishment. It’s a non-competitive, non-timed fun event for the kids!
More competitive Youth and Junior athletes, may find an additional challenge in the Novice “My First Tri” Adult Triathlon, Duathlon or AquaBike.
