The Truro Kids Triathlon is a Triathlon Nova Scotia sanctioned event. We are also proud to partner with The Town of Truro Parks and Recreation (who also operates the Victoria Park Pool) and the Colchester Recreation.

each heat will probably last between 10 to 20 minutes for the younger age groups and probably more for the oldest ages as they have to cover more distance. So there could be 3 heats for ages 8-9 for example, depending on how much time we have we hope to at least have all participants off the bike before we start another wave/heat for the same age group. These decisions will be made once registration is full and we see how many participants we have.
WHAT TO BRING: swim goggles if required, water wings or a flotation device if required, bike, helmet, some kind of shoes, sunglasses if required, a piece of clothing to cover the torso.
We had a blast last year. To see some of the photos, visit our Facebook album at facebook.com/gotruro
Ages 3-15 (based on your age at December 31, 2017)
***There are 100 bandanas*** so the 1st 100 registered participants will receive one.
Cost: $15 per individual, $27 for a family of 2 and $40 for a family of 3 and $50 for a family of 4 or more
WHAT YOU GET: We will be handing out Triathlon Nova Scotia finisher medals. We are a sanctioned event. There will be post race refreshments.
Times are tentative, they will change depending on the number of participants we have registered in each category. An email will be sent out closer to the event to advise of updated times. If in doubt arrive early in the morning and cheer on the other athletes.
Since we are a volunteer, non profit group, if there is inclement weather (something that leads to a power failure and the pool is shut down) we will switch to a duathlon (run/bike/run), if we can't bike for some reason we will have a run event. if there is a hurricane or a large lightning storm we might have to postpone the event to another weekend day. If the event is unable to take place, we will not be offering refunds, it is too costly (without even considering the time and effort). The bandanas will already be paid for and we will try to get them delivered to you (although mailing out all bandanas to participants would be cost prohibitive). We will do everything in our power to make this event a go, this is our flagship event and biggest one of the season. We just wanted to state this in writing. The last 4 years the weather was fantastic.
