Organiser's Description
The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (SVKT) is one of the countrys largest triathlons specifically for kids aged FOUR through SEVENTEEN.
Triathlon
THERE ARE THREE TRIATHLON EVENTS TO CHOOSE FROM. The traditional KIDS TRI IS FOR KIDS AGED 4 TO 15, WHERE KIDS CAN CHOOSE BETWEEN COMPETITIVE AND NON-COMPETITIVE LEVELS. The SUPER-SPRINT IS FOR KIDS 11 TO 17. Kids 11 - 15 can choose the shorter distances of the traditional event or the longer distances of the Super-Sprint.
DUATHLON
A duathlon is a run-bike-run. KIDS WILL RUN FROM THE START AREA TO TRANSITION, THEN complete the same bike and run courses with the same distances as those doing the full triathlon.
7 & UNDER NON - COMPETITIVE EVENT
ONE PARENT (or other adult) IS ALLOWED TO ACCOMPANY THEIR CHILD AGED 7 & UNDER IN NON-COMPETITIVE EVENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RACE including accompanying them at (NOT IN) the pool and running beside them on the bike and run. Because this age is getting help from their parent and because of their developmental stage, THEY WILL NOT BE TIMED nor ranked.
Transition
Parents of children aged 6 to 10 in competitive events may come into transition to help setup and tear down their kid's spot. Children aged 11 and up are developmentally ready to race on their own!
