From the Organizer
This isn't just a race, it's a challenge that will push your child to swim, run, and conquer obstacles they never thought possible. The Youth Triathlon is a one-of-a-kind event designed to build confidence, grit, and pure athletic joy. Every kid crosses that finish line a triathlete.
THE CHALLENGE
Three events. One epic day. Here's what's waiting for your athlete:
Swim — Every participant hits the pool in a fully supervised swim with lifeguards on deck. Distances are tailored to each age group so every child competes at the right level.
Obstacles — This is where things get exciting. After the swim athletes face a series of physical challenges; hurdles, jumping jacks, box jumps, burpees, tuck jumps, and more, scaled to match each age group's abilities. It's tough, it's fun, and it's unforgettable.
Run — Lace up and go. Participants tackle a designated course built for their age group, short enough to be achievable, long enough to feel like a real accomplishment.
AGE GROUP CHALLENGES
Every distance and obstacle is carefully designed for each group so the challenge is real, but always achievable.

Three sports, one race — swim, bike, run in sequence, with transitions that are a discipline of their own.
Open water, open roads, and competition with yourself. Cross the finish line knowing what it took to get there.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think.
