Suits, Spokes and Soles, presented by Multisport in Motion, encourages healthy lifestyle choices through multisport with an emphasis on fun! The Washington D.C. Kids Triathlon Clinic Series is geared for youth (ages 11 15 years old) and juniors (ages 16 19 years old).

The summer clinic series will focus on swimming basics, open water swim strategy, bike safety and skills, running techniques, nutrition, race preparation, equipment needs and transition tips. After each information session, young athletes will participate in a short training session and group workout with their new training partners.

The clinics run over the summer months allowing the child to put their learning into action at a local area August goal race including the USAT Mid-Atlantic Region Youth Championships.

Multisport In Motion has teamed up with our friends, Carderock Springs Swimming and Tennis Club and Wave One Swimming, to provide this USAT-sanctioned event.

In conjunction with Wave One Swimming, a safe, contained open water swim will be held at National Harbor, National Harbor MD 20745.
