The series is aimed at children aged 3 to 15 and features the classic triathlon combination of swimming, running, and bicycling. Youth will be placed in “waves” according to their age and skill level, with each participant swimming laps in their own lane in an indoor pool. The race will be timed, but no medals or awards will be distributed to place focus on personal growth and fitness instead of competition.
The stated goal of TRi KiDS is to encourage activity in youth of all ages:
“We believe if children and youth engage in activities in a positive and supportive environment they will be active for life. The TRi KiDS commitment is to create memorable events where the athletes are the focus and their participation is celebrated.”
Races such as these are a popular way for people of all ages to measure their fitness and challenge themselves, with Promotional Products such as shirts and bibs used to help commemorate the occasion. Pre-registered athletes with TRi KiDS will receive a personalized bib with their name on it. The organization also holds summer races in Burlington, Niagara, and Milton.
The London edition of the TRi KiDS Triathlon Series will take place on May 28 at the Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre.Get a Free Quote for Promotional Products
