DR SHUFELT'S KIDS TRIATHLON

Dr. Shufelts Kids Triathlon is a fun event designed to encourage kids (ages 2 to 13) to be active and healthy while introducing them to the joy of triathlon. Our emphasis is on participation and having fun in a safe supportive environment.

Our race is capped at 250 participants and traditionally sells out so be sure to register early to avoid disappointment. Race day registration is not available. Online registration closes at 6PM on the Wednesday prior to race day. Another reason to register early; sign up by July 19th to get a T-shirt and customized race bib

MAIN EVENT INFO

Kids races are the same as a regular triathlon; swim, bike and run in that order. Check out website under `Guide`which gives a step-by-step detailed account of what kids can expect. All distances are age appropriate and can be found on the website : http://kids.runnerslife.ca/guide.php

SWIM: Kids start the swim right at Beavermead beach. Goggles and flotation devices optional. Volunteers are there to help kids run or walk to the transition area and find their bike. We pride ourselves on our many, wonderful, energetic volunteers. They are there to help all children as parents are not allowed on course. This allows mom and dad to run along and cheer and take pictures.

BIKE: Again, volunteers help kids find their bike, get their helmet on and get them onto the course. After the bike course is completed, kids return to the transition area and drop their bike off (same place) and off to the run!

RUN: Once the run is completed, kids get to collect an awesome medal.
