The Kids’ Triathlon is a fun, confidence‑building event for young athletes. Participants swim, bike, and run on safe, age‑appropriate routes supported by staff and volunteers. The focus is on participation, accomplishment, and having fun.
Children in the 5‑year‑old category must have one parent or guardian accompany them throughout the entire race, including being in the water within arm’s reach during the swim. Parents must bring their own swim attire and any equipment they need. Participants aged 6 and older complete the race independently and do not require parental assistance.
All participants are placed in heats according to their age category. Each age group follows a course marked with its corresponding animal symbol, making it easy for athletes to stay on the correct route. Participants and parents are encouraged to review their age‑category course in advance and follow the posted animal signage on race day.
Volunteers are stationed throughout the course to support athletes, answer questions, and ensure everyone’s safety and well‑being.
