You’re invited to take part in the 6th Annual Tuscaloosa Kids Triathlon. This event is a great way to promote healthy, active lifestyles for kids – while supporting a great cause, Secret Meals For Hungry Children.
We encourage children of all athletic abilities to participate. Race distances are very beginner-friendly. Helmets are required and flotation devices and training wheels are allowed. All participants will be awarded with medals. Awards to top three girls and boys in each age group will also be awarded.
The Tuscaloosa Kids Triathlon is sanctioned by USA Triathlon ensuring that all standards for your child’s safety are met. A USA Triathlon Membership is required. A one-day USAT event license fee of $10.00 is required, unless you are already a USAT member.

Wondering if your child is ready to try a tri? The Learn to Tri - Training Clinic is an introductory program designed to train youth in the fundamentals of triathlons, so they can participate in the Tuscaloosa Kids Triathlon. The Learn to Tri Kids Clinic will be hosted at Lake Lurleen on Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m. Registration is $10 each child, this will provide you with a USAT (U.S.A Triathlon) member number which your child will receive on the day of the clinic.
At the start of the clinic, the participants will be divided into groups (usually by age). After a brief introduction, the groups will each rotate across 3 different stations. Each rotation lasts for 30 minutes and gives every participant the opportunity to swim, bike, run and practice their transitions. Each transition will end with a Question & Answer session. Parents are welcome to attend.
The clinic is FREE with the registration of the Tuscaloosa Kids Triathlon.
