From the Organizer
Join us at Montgomery Whitewater for the first Lil' Tri Kids Triathlon presented by Baptist OrthoNow, in celebration of summer solstice Saturday, June 20th!
Montgomery Whitewater’s “Lil Tri” puts a fun spin on the traditional triathlon by challenging young athletes to paddle, bike, and run across the finish line. Open to kids ages 6 to 12, Lil Tri consists of a 370 yard flatwater paddle, 700 yard bike ride, and 880 yard run. Montgomery Whitewater will provide all paddle equipment; participants must bring their own bike and helmet and wear secure shoes (no flip-flops or Crocs). Kids ages 6-10 must paddle with an adult in the inflatable kayak; 11- & 12-year-olds may paddle solo. Siblings may pair together.
This race is not timed and has no official winners.
All participants who register by Monday, June 8th, will receive a race t-shirt and medal. Participants who register after June 8th, will not receive a t-shirt.
The fun doesn’t end at the finish line. Stay for a full day of family fun, live music, and more.

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