From the Organizer
The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (“SVKT”) is one of the country’s largest triathlons specifically for kids aged SIX through SEVENTEEN.
The swim will be in the pool and the run on the track as usual. The bike course will continue to be on closed roads. There should be plenty of parking, the bike course has easy spectator viewing, and the whole event will be more compact.
Because we are in a MacDonald High school with a smaller pool, we are cutting out some of the events that have been traditionally held in order to make the event smaller as we gain more experience with this venue.
Triathlon
There are two triathlon events to choose from.
Competitive Triathlon is for kids aged 6 to 15 who are ready to race on their own. It is timed and there will be awards. No parents will be allowed in transition at any time. (We will have transition clinics to teach the kids everything they need to know.) Your child needs to be able to swim across the pool without stopping and without swim aids; no training wheels or balance bikes either.
The Super-Sprint is for kids 11 to 17. Kids 11 to 15 can choose the shorter distances of the traditional event or the longer distances of the Super-Sprint.
Not sure which event to sign up for or if your child is ready for the competitive event? Read this guide.
Non-Competitive and Duathlon Events
There will be a Non-Competitive Events day before this race (May 1st)
There will be no Duathlon either.
NorCal Youth State Series
This event is part of USA Triathlon's Youth State Series. Because there is so much overlap in participants. We encourage everyone to participate in the entire state series, including the Sunnyvale Kids Splash and Dash (date TBD) and the Oakland Tri Club's Splash and Dash on October 25th. Series awards will be given out at the OTC Splash and Dash.
Youth Teams and Clinics
There are two youth teams in the area: TCMTriSquad Juniors in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara County and First Youth Triathlon Team (FYTT) in Menlo Park. Both put on clinics and workouts.
In addition, there will be several youth clinics -- especially practice tris and transition practice -- put on by Rolling Stumps Endurance. You will be given an opportunity to sign up for them as part of registration.

Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think. Three sports in one race means three movements to train and race day never gets monotonous.
