The kids’ Triathlon was started in 2007 from an idea presented to the triathlon committee by Dr. Larry Winans. It was an immediate success and wonderful addition to the adult event. The kids’ tri is for children ages 7 to 14 and is meant to introduce youngsters to the sport of triathlon. The event in non-competitive, however it is chip timed. All participants receive a medal and those registered by July 29th will receive a t-shirt but ALL will feel the satisfaction of finishing!
