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.

About This Sport

From Endurance Grid's Founder

Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.

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.

Triathlon

Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think.
