This heartwarming event is designed to provide children with a fun and supportive environment to swim, bike, and run their way to the finish line. With race distances tailored for various age groups, participants will enjoy swimming, biking, and running distances ranging from 25 yards to 200 yards for swimming, and up to 5 miles for biking, depending on their age.

This event is all about encouraging kids to stay active, build confidence, and experience the joy of physical fitness rather than focusing on competition.
