_ The 2018 Kids' Try-athlon:

Description

 

 

For ages 6 to 12, this event focuses on fun and not competition. Everyone who trys is a winner! Boys and girls of all ability levels can display their skills in a series of three events: swimming, biking and running. Check-in will be located in the Recreation Center and will start 30 minutes prior to the start of each age group start times. Please drop your child's bike off in transition area one before checking in. Participants will receive a t-shirt, event bag, and bib when they check in. Swim heats will also be assigned at check in. Medals will be given out at the finish line.

 

One parent per child is allowed in transition area one to assist. You may help your child with getting started on the bike but please stay off the trail and move to the spectator areas with your child's remaining items from transition area one after your child starts their bike. Also, please note that the beginning of the bike is downhill so adequate brakes are needed so they can slow themselves down. This event will not be timed as the emphasis is on trying the event and not competition. Additional information will be posted online at www.ParkerRec.com/KidsTRY.

 

Each participant is required to bring a swimsuit, bike, helmet and a pair of athletic shoes. Optional items include: shirt/shorts to wear over the swimsuit, socks, a towel, goggles, swim cap, water bottle and sunscreen.

 

A pre-race email will be sent to all registered participants Wednesday evening after registration closes.
