Tri 4 Schools is a part of Active Youth Wisconsin, a nonprofit committed to empowering kids to be happy, healthy, and confident through movement. To support our mission, we donate 100% of youth entry fees to the participants' schools.
We offer 4 in-person course distances for this race. While there are recommended ages listed below, please select the course that best matches your child’s ability and interest, regardless of age. Note that the Long Course is only open to athletes age 7 and older. If your athlete uses a bike with training wheels, they must be registered for the Short Course. There is also an At-Home option for participants who are interested in a virtual option. We strive to make our events accessible for children of all abilities; please contact us if you would like to discuss any specific accommodations for your athlete.

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