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.

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
