Compete to Complete. That is what youth triathletes will be achieving on Sunday, August 9, 2026. Be a part of the USA Triathlon’s USA Kids Tri movement right here in the heart of Bucks County, PA. Back by popular and sold out demand, we are thrilled to welcome you to USA Kids Tri NJ/PA’s culminating east coast race - the 2026 YMCA Kids Triathlon. We welcome many new and returning youth athletes of all skill levels ages 3-15 where all will become finish line champions on race day. The YMCA Kids Triathlon race day is a full-family experience like none other, beginning with pre-race entertainment for your youth triathletes as they check-in, the energy and excitement of our Kids Triathlon Village, and a finish line experience that fully embraces our COMPETE TO COMPLETE and Y FOR ALL atmosphere where every athlete is a winner.
Supported by the USA Triathlon Kids Tri initiative, our YMCA Kids Triathlon is unique in that it has one podium, and all will be on it! Each year, our promise through our Kids Triathlon is to provide children with the opportunity to build confidence by setting and achieving a goal - even one they think is beyond their reach. We need every bit of your support in helping to bring home our athletes through their finish line, feeling the energy of all family, friends, and the community at large cheering them on!
All YMCA Kids Tri youth participants receive a FREE USA Triathlon Youth Membership! Visit member.usatriathlon.org and use code RCYMCA26 in advance of registering!

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.
