The mission of IronKids is to inspire and motivate youth through the sport to lead an active, positive, and healthy lifestyle. The 2011 IronKids National Series and the Hy-Vee IronKids Midwest Series presented by Dole, targeting youth between the ages of 6-15, will provide an interactive weekend experience for the entire family that will not only showcase the nations top youth triathlon talent, but also will allow first-time triathletes to experience a positive introduction to the realm of multisport. Children will compete in age-appropriate distances with an emphasis on fitness, fun and safety.

Course Information:
SWIM WAVES & RACE STARTS TIMES:
The swim will take place at the Avon Recreation Center (updated: July 9) in the pool. Participants will swim in a zig-zag formation, up one lane and down the next and will go one at a time - approximately 3 seconds apart. Participants will start with the eldest category in each age group. Example Senior boys ages 15 years will start first, followed by girls ages 15 yrs, then boys 14, then girls 14 and so on. The Senior Division will start at 7 a.m. The Intermediate Division will start at 8:30 a.m. The Junior Division will start at 9:15 a.m.
SWIM COURSE AND WATER SAFETY:
Wetsuits are not allowed. We will have a large team of Lifeguards and Water Safety Marshalls that will be watching over the swim course.
BIKE COURSE:The bike course will be on roads closed to motor traffic. Each division will be on the same two-mile, out-and-back course, with loops of the course for the Senior and Intermediate divisions. We will have volunteers and signs directing participants, however please make sure your child knows which division they are in, as we will be referring to the course based on divisions (Junior, Intermediate and Senior). Mile markers (large signs) will be along the course.
RUN COURSE:
The run course will be on a paved walkway and grass around Nottingham Lake. Please make sure your child knows what division they are in as we will be referring to division to help direct participants along the course. On the run course, the directional signs will be color-coded: yellow for Junior, orange for Intermediate and light blue for Senior.
TRANSITION:
Transition and bike check-in is ONLY ON RACE DAY. The transition will open to all age divisions at 5:30 a.m. and will close at 6:45 a.m. Transition will re-open from approximately 8:05 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. for the Intermediate Division and from 8.45 a.m. to 8:55 a.m. for the Junior Division. Transition will open to the Intermediate division only after the last racer in the senior division gets off the bike and on to the run course (likewise for the junior division after the Intermediate division). Once transition closes, participants and parents must exit the transition and make their way to the swim start (which is close). Parents are allowed in transition to help rack bikes and help set up participant transition area. PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE TRANSITION DURING THE RACE. We will have volunteers in the transition to help kids find their way to their bikes and ensure participants have their helmets on before starting the race. If you have one bike to be used by two different athletes in SEPARATE DIVISIONS, they will be able to share a bike. Please make sure that they are in separate divisions (Junior, Intermediate, and Senior).
Bikes will be racked in designated areas that are identified by colors: Yellow for ages 6-8, orange for 9-11 and blue for 12-15. These racks are numbered and color coded for easy spotting. They are not numbered in conjunction with racers bib numbers. We will allow 7 bikes per rack anywhere within the racers color division. Be courteous and do not move bikes that have already in their place. Placing is based on first come, first served.
