Well here’s what your parents should know- The Kids Triathlon is held on an enclosed and highly visible course completely within New Town. Having everyone in sight will ensure you’ll find your way from start to finish. And your grandparents can watch you swim like a shark, bike like it’s a rocket and run faster than a cheetah. Just in case you need’em the course will be lined with lifeguards from Backyard Lifeguards for the swim, as well as plenty of bike and run marshals too.

The Distances:

If you are between 7 and 10 years old– get ready to swim 100 yds, bike 1.25 miles and run .5 mile.
If you are between 11 and 15 years old you’ll swim 200 yds, bike 3.75 miles and run 1 mile.
Note: Racing age is a child’s age at the end of the year (12/31/26)
