Organiser's Description
The Kids TRYathlon is a community-centered youth athletic event that promotes physical fitness, confidence building and family engagement.

It consists of three components: swimming, biking and running. Participants are divided into three age groups to ensure appropriate challenge levels and safety. The TRYathlon will follow a sequential structure: swim, bike, run, finish.
Training wheels allowed for biking. Please bring at least 1 towel for transition area. Participants will place their bike along with snacks and drink in Transition ZONE 1 behind the Natatorium.
