Fresh off of last year's success, the Kids Triathlon is back for its second year - and will now be an annual race! Open to children ages 7 to 13 years, the Kids Triathlon will take place Saturday, June 30, 2012, in downtown Stamford. 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 builds 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. Each child will receive a custom medal when they cross the finish line.

Please check back March 15 for registration information.

Wave 1: Children ages 7 – 10

Wave 2: Children ages 11-13
