General Information

The Race Director will go over the race route, as well as rules and expectations at the meeting. Parents will NOT be allowed in the Transition Area.  No ouside assistance is allowed.

Good sportsmanship is encouraged and enforced!  Athletes may be given penalties if parents are showing anything other than good sportsmanship. It will also be emphasized that this event is for the youth, and is meant to be fun and educational. We are promoting healthy lifestyles, self-esteem, self-confidence, and modeling good sportsmanship and healthy competition.

How it Works

The Transition Area is where your child will keep all of his or her gear.  After completing the swim, your child will go to the Transition Area and retrieve his/her shoes and then proceed to the run course. Plenty of volunteers will be available in the Transition Area to assist your child with finding their equipment, tying shoes, etc.  Parents are NOT allowed in the Transition Area.

After your child finishes the run portion.  The race finishes when the child crosses the finish line.  This race will not be timed.  This is a fun event to encourage participation.

Your child will also be "bodymarked" - a triathlon tradition of writing each participant's race number on his/her arms and legs to keep track of athletes.
