The Tri-City Kids' Triathlon was created to foster a healthy lifestyle and a sense of accomplishment for kids ages 6-15.  Each triathlete will swim, bike, and run to complete the competition. NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY.

This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to participate in an enjoyable, low-key athletic event that emphasizes health, self-esteem, self-confidence and fun, in a safe, family-friendly environment.

Proceeds from the race will benefit the Fibrous Dysplasia Foundation, a non-profit organization which provides information, advocacy and support for patients and caregivers of those with Fibrous Dysplasia and McCune Albright Syndrome and The International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF), a non-profit that provides support and encouragement for those with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and their family members, provides information and educational programs and supports research leading to a cure.

Course Information:

The course will be well-marked and staffed with plenty of volunteers.

Swim

The swim will take place in the indoor pool at Dow High School. Ages 6-11 will complete one length of the pool (25 yd.). Ages 12-15 will complete two lengths of the pool (50 yd.). Those doing the Open Division will swim four lengths of the pool (100 yd.).  Athletes will then proceed to the transition area to find their bike.

Bike

The bike course will start in the parking lot of Dow High. Athletes will exit the parking lot turning right onto Main St.  All racers go out and back on Main Street with those ages 6-11 turning around at University Dr and racers in the 12-15 age groups, as well as those in the Open Division turning around at Orchard Drive.  All athletes complete the bike portion of the race by returning to the parking lot, where they will park their bike in the transition area.  Athletes must wear their helmets throughout the bike course as well as while walking their bikes through the transition area. There is no riding allowed in the transition area/chutes.
