Henley Kids Fun Triathlon 2023

Sat 22nd July 2023

Three children wearing helmets and sporting biking attire are riding their bicycles outdoors. The child in front, with braided hair and wearing a red shirt and blue shorts, is marked with the number 39. The other two children are in the background, also on bikes. A young girl in a white shirt and purple shorts, wearing bib number 551, runs on a grassy field during a race. She is ahead of two other children in the background, who are also running and wearing bibs. Colorful flags and banners line the sides of the course.
