Children will need to bring their own swim cap, goggles, bike, helmet, running gear and a water bottle.
Parents are asked to be volunteers for this event and MUST be present on site the entire time. Your kids see you train and race all year long. It’s time to get them moving too!!!
The TRI KIDS OFFICIAL RACE has Mini, Sprint & Olympic distances. Upon arriving at the Jamesville park for the RACE, the kids have a packet-pickup which includes; race numbers for bike and helmet, body marking and a goodie bag and water bottle donated from various bike shops around town.
After crossing the finish line the kids receive a medal. It was amazing to see how well the kids improve over the summer months with all three of the sports. The turnout for the program has been great. The Coaches are going to continue the program and are sure it will be bigger and better.
