2011 Nottingham Kids Triathlon:

The Nottingham Kids Triathlon has been named the USA Triathlon Mid-Atlantic Regional Youth Championship for 2011 and will also be the fourth and final stop of the 2011 Maryland Youth Triathlon Series!

The Nottingham Kids Triathlon, presented by the MINI COW TRI CLUB, encourages healthy lifestyle choices through multisport with an emphasis on fun! Open to all knights and maidens ages 7 to 14 (age as of December 31, 2011, per USA Triathlon age up rules), the Nottingham Kids Triathlon will challenge young triathletes with new, graduated race distances based on their age:

7-8 year olds: 50 yard swim, 2 mile bike, .5 mile run

The races will be run consecutively, with our older triathletes starting first. Children will be grouped in waves based on age, and all races will start and finish at the Nottingham Swim Club.

Those of you who raced with us last year remember that we introduced a second, longer course for our older triathletes. Well, this year we're kickin' it up a couple of notchesin addition to introducing a total of four race distances, we'll be chip timing and awarding age group awards too!
