WELCOME TO THE 2nd ANNUAL "ONLY THE YOUNG TRI"
We are excited to have you join us on Father's Day for this fun filled event.
To ensure you get the most out of this wonderful day a few reminders and some more information;-

Please check the chart below as to which race your child is doing.  The color coding will help you find your transition area, register faster and race in the correct race at the correct time.  Depending on the amount of registered participants in your race we may have to stagger the ages by 1 min start increments.  Please line up at your start time and the announcer will help get you in the correct order.

*to ensure the success of your child we have changed the 6 year old's to participate in a shorter distance.  If you feel that your child is able to run .25miles (1 lap of the running track) please let us know and we would be happy to have them race the longer distance.  Please remember the goal is for your child to succeed.
 
**Due to Academy scheduling requirements our road closure will be open at an earlier time.  We have shortened the bike ride to ensure the safety of the 13-15 year old athletes.

Transition area
This is where you will leave all your stuff you will need during your race....  such as your bicycle, helmet, swim goggles etc.
You will need to be have all your things in transition before the first race by 8:30.  We recommend you come and register around 8:00am.  You WILL NOT be able to drive up to transition you must park in lot #5, you can drop your bike, helmet and goggles off in transition area before you head up to registration.

Registration - registration is located at the start line up by the running track - The Start line is right by registration.
Please check in at registration to collect your race number and sign your waiver and USAT lic.  You must have a $5 USAT junior Lic to race.  If you have not purchased it you can do so at registration. If you already have a member number please bring your USAT card with you.

Run/Bicycle/Swim Rules
Please have the kids participate in whatever makes them comfortable.  If they need floaties in the pool and/or would like you to swim beside them this will be great!  You and your child MUST wear a helmet when on your bike.  Please be respectful of other parents and athletes on and off the course. We strive to create a fun family event while introducing kids to the joy of triathlons and success.  It is a non competitive event (no results) all kids will receive a medal.

We look forward to sharing this race with you.  Don't forget to join in the family entertainment and food.  Dunkin' Donuts is sponsoring the Dad's Dunk Tank - bring dad a towel!
