The Saplingathlon is a FUN race for kids who like to ride their bikes and run around (i.e., ALL kids). It's also a great way to introduce your little ones to the sport of triathlon. The format of the race is a "fun activity" (see below) followed by the biking leg, followed by a run. There is no swim in the Saplingathlon.
Children will be divided into the following age groups, and started in waves:
3:00 - Age 5 and under (Acorns): 0.5 mile bike, 0.1 mile run
3:20 - Age 6-7 (Pinecones): 1.2 mile bike, 0.25 mile run
3:40 - Age 8-9 (Twigs): 2.4 mile bike, 0.6 mile run
4:00 - Age 10-12 (Firewood): 3.6 mile bike, 1.2 mile run
Wave starts are approximate - we will try to begin according to this schedule, keeping the athletes' safety in mind.
Fun-Bike-Run
In order to avoid a mass bike start, there will be a fun, short and somewhat challenging activity for all kids to perform before they get on their bikes (this makes the race less like a duathlon and more like a triathlon of fun-bike-run). The "fun" activity will be announced on race day - examples of possible fun activities include: making a paper airplane, running a small obstacle course, hula hooping, jumping rope, hopscotch, or throwing a ball at something.
