The Kids Triathlon is all about building the “WOW” factor inside every kid…. whoever they are and wherever they are from. During Memorial Rehab Services YMCA Kids Triathlon, we inspire more kids to keep their minds and bodies active. The YMCA’s national initiative to improve families’ health and well-being, features a Kids Triathlon to motivate and teach families how to develop healthy routines at home. The 2019 Kids Triathlon will be celebrated on Saturday, June 8 at the Kerasotes YMCA.

• All registrants must complete the Registration Form and Waiver and the TriHarder waiver form. If registering online, the waiver must be signed and collected in advance of the race for the child to participate either at the Free Clinic, Packet Pick-up, or race day morning.
• All registrants must also pass a swim test, bike check, and helmet check. There will be opportunities to complete these checks before race day and the morning of race day.  Learn more about mandatory tests and the FREE prep clinic.
• All children and parents must convene in the competition pool area at 8:45 a.m. to receive race instruction and timing chips. Once your timing chip is on, you want to make every effort to stay in the pool area so as not to accidentally start the time on your chip. The National Anthem will kick off the morning. 5&6 Splash & Dashers will be the first to start.

Businesses and Organizations: there is still time to sponsor this event. Check out your options here. Interested in your business or just you volunteering for this event? Contact mdilworth@springfieldymca.org.

RACE MAPS:

• Divided by age group (available on race day)
• Trail Map Poster_ALL (available on race day)
• *Volunteers will be placed at all turn-arounds, transitions, and timing mats for every age group.*
• No parents in any Transition Area! Volunteers are on hand to assist children.
  Transition tips:
  • Have your shoes unlaced and laid out – read to go!
  • Have your helmet already unbuckled and on your bike so you can just place it on your head and strap it on!
  • Make sure your bike is already in the gear you want it in.
  • Bring all of your items in a strong bucket. You can flip it over and use it as a chair when putting your shoes on!
  • Have your bib already pinned to the front of your t-shirt.
  • Have water near your area in case you need a water break!
