Organiser's Description

TITANIUM MAN JR. TRIRace date is August 17, 2024
For 7-12 year old triathletes!
Hey kids -- Its your turn! Here is a chance to give triathlon a try. See if you’ve got what it takes to get to the finish line…we think you can do it.
Hey parents -- Here is a chance for your young athletes to try something a little different by putting a swim, bike, and run together in one event. We have designed a safe course with plenty of adult supervision that will be fun for the kids to challenge.  The 250-yard swim will be in the river in a shallow area near shore with plenty of boat and swimmer support. The 4.5-mile bike leg is all on a bike path, except for a short portion in the boat ramp parking lot which will be heavily barricaded and controlled. Helmets are required and any bike in good working condition may be used. The 1-mile run will be completely on a foot path.  
IMPORTANT BIKE INFORMATION.  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.  WE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE USE OF LIGHTWEIGHT, MULTI-SPEED RACING BIKES WITH LIGHTWEIGHT SKINNY TIRES.  THE OLDER KIDS HAVE COME TO BE TOO FAST ON THESE BIKES TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE COURSE.  ACCEPTABLE BIKES INCLUDE MOUNTAIN BIKES, GRAVEL BIKES, HYBRIDS, CRUISERS, SPIDERMAN BIKES, HELLO KITTY BIKES WITH A BASKET IN FRONT...YOU KNOW, KIDS BIKES.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIKE YOU PLAN TO USE, SEND A DESCRIPTION AND A PHOTO TO ERIC AT sagegcharter.net.  
COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: We will be following the guidelines from the Governors office to keep everyone safe and healthy before, during, and after the race.  This guidance may change between now and race day, and we expect 100% compliance from all race participants, parents and volunteers. We will email the safety precautions we plan to take just before race day.  
What: It’s a triathlon that starts with a swim, goes directly into a bike, and then finishes with the run. Once the starting gun goes off, the action is non-stop and doesn’t end until the run is completed.  The 9 to 12 year olds will finish a course that consists of a 200 yard swim, 4.5 mile bike and a one-mile run.  The 7 and 8 year olds will do the same swim, but bike and run half the distance of the older kids.
Where: Howard Amon Park, Richland, Washington. Look for the picnic shelter in the south end of the park, on the river side of the Richland Community Center for race HQ.
