A Triathlon series for kids from age 3 - 15yrs
(Yes, you can go in the pool with your 3 year old and walk with them during the bike and run events!)
TRi KiDS RACES
TRi KiDS Triathlons are non-competitive, safe events designed for 3-15 year olds. We promote and celebrate participation in three fun 'lifestyle' sports; swimming, biking and running.
Our philosophy is one of complete not compete. Focusing on the achievement of each young individual, our goal is to inspire self-confidence and motivate kids to stay active through sport.
We believe kids need to participate in activities that provide a positive experience. We create memorable events where the athletes are the focus and their accomplishment is celebrated by their family and friends, our volunteers and us.
The distance each athlete completes will be based on their age on December 31, 2013. Using this date allows for a uniform placement into the appropriate age group. As an example, all athletes turning 8 this year, whether their birthday is in January or December, will be placed in the 8-9 age group. Their AGE on race day is not used to determine the age group. If you feel your child is not ready to be in the age category based on the December 31st date please contact us by email prior to registering.
SAMPLE DISTANCE CHART FOR ALL AGE GROUPS
The distance varies with each venue. This chart can be used as a guideline for distances.

SWiM, BiKE, RUN....
They start off with a swim in the indoor (and outdoor) pool and then head off on the traffic-free bike and run course. All that’s required is a swim suit, a bike in good working order, a helmet, running shoes and a bunch of enthusiasm.
Each athlete receives a TRi KiDS t-shirt, a race kit and a finishers medal. Most importantly, each one is awarded a healthy boost of self-esteem and an experience to last a lifetime.
