IMG_2003This race is the perfect opportunity for beginner athletes to celebrate health, fitness, and self-confidence through a 40m swim in Rockport Pool (note: 11-12-year-olds will swim 80m), a 2.5-mile bike around Rockport Park, and a 0.5-mile run on a paved trail. The triathlon is for kids ages 7 to 12. This event is not structured as a highly competitive race, but awards will be given to the fastest finishers in each age group!

The triathlon is made possible through the partnership of Velocity Multi-Sport and Cycling, Gold Sponsorship of Michael's Cycles, and Silver Sponsorship of Janesville Velo Club.
