Presented by Texas Children’s Hospital The Woodlands, the Kids Triathlon benefits the YMCA Annual Campaign, which ensures everyone, regardless of age, income or background has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive at the Y. Now more than ever, the community needs the YMCA. Now more than ever, the YMCA needs the community support so we can continue to meet the needs of our community. Proceeds will help us multiply our impact in 2020.
Swim+Bike+Run = FUN! Triathlon is an exciting sport for young children because it involves three activities that every child enjoys – swimming, cycling and running. The virtual event provides a unique opportunity for “First Timers” because the three elements do not have to be done consecutively. Each element can be completed on separate days. Once all 3 are completed, results can be reported. Results deadline is October 24 to be eligible for awards. For those that do not have access to a pool, a Duathlon option is available: Run, Bike, Run.
Boys and girls will compete separately in events designed for their age group (age as of August 24, 2020). Youth ages 5–9 will swim 50 meters, cycle for 1 mile and run ¼ of a mile. Youth ages 10–12 will swim 100 meters, cycle for 2 miles and run ½ mile. Teens ages 13-15 will swim 150 meters, cycle for 3 miles and run 1 mile.
Online registration and event information is available at ymcahouston.org/ymca-kids-tri. Registration closes October 21. Deadline to submit results is October 24. For more information, contact Roxanne Davis at 281-681-6730 or
