From the Organizer
I would like to welcome you to the 2026 Youth & Junior Nationals hosted at Voice of America Park in West Chester, Ohio. Youth & Juniors from around the country will battle head-to-head for National Championship bragging rights, and our goal is to create a memorable experience for all involved.
The calm waters of Voice of America Park should provide some fast swim splits. The Age-Group, Draft Legal & Mixed Relay bike and run courses were designed to be fast paced and spectator friendly. All races will finish in the heart of Voice of America Park, and “spirit central” where Team Zones will be located.
Special thanks to West Chester Ohio, Voice of America Park and Travel Butler County for hosting this exciting event. We are thrilled to return to this awesome location. I would also like to recognize Metro Parks, West Chester Township and the West Chester Police Dept. for their support.

While at the venue, please take the opportunity to thank these generous folks.

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. Three sports in one race means three movements to train and race day never gets monotonous.
