THE COURSE

We've designed the Kimbolton Children's Triathlon to be fun, accessible and exciting for young athletes, with a course that is easy to follow and fantastic for spectators.

THE SWIM – KIMBOLTON SCHOOL POOL

Every race starts in the swimming pool at Kimbolton School. Whether your child is tackling 50m or 400m, they'll have the opportunity to get their triathlon underway in a familiar, safe and controlled swimming environment.

THE BIKE – GRASS PLAYING FIELD

After leaving transition, it's time to jump on the bike! The cycling takes place on the grass playing field, with a multi-lap course designed to keep the action close to the event village.

THE RUN – GRASS PLAYING FIELD

The final challenge is the run, also taking place on the grass playing field. With a multi-lap course, there will be plenty of opportunities to cheer on the young athletes as they make their way towards the finish line.

GREAT FOR SPECTATORS!

One of the best things about the Kimbolton Children's Triathlon is that the multi-lap bike and run courses make it brilliant for family and friends to come along and support. There's even an opportunity to take part in the adult triathlon or a 5k/10k in the morning.

You'll be able to see the competitors passing regularly, cheer them on throughout their race and be there to celebrate as they cross the finish line.

Bring the family, get the cowbells out and make some noise!
