RACE OVERVIEW

MUST COMPLETE A PAPER REGISTRATION FORM

The Blair Regional YMCA Youth Triathlon is open to children 6-15. No experience is necessary.

This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to participate in an enjoyable athletic event that promotes a healthy lifestyle, provides a chance to meet new friends and build self-confidence.

The courses and distances will be achievable for all athletes, promoting a philosophy of completion rather than competition. The focus of the event is not on finish times, placing or rankings; rather a sense of accomplishment. Each child will receive a medal for crossing the finish line. The race will be broken down into 4 waves, with different heats per wave. Heats will be determined at registration close. Racers will be separated into their waves based on age.
