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.

2. WHAT YOU GET: We will be handing out Triathlon Nova Scotia finisher medals. Each participant will receive a Bike Monkey water bottle. Booster Juice will be supplying refreshments and there will be prizes drawn for each heat. There will be fruit, granola bars and water available as well. We will be posting a full compliment of pictures. You can also swim throughout the morning before and after the event within the hours we have it rented 8:30 to 11:30 (will be updated when we know our exact number of participants).
***
We will be doing draw prizes for each heat which will be drawn based on your race number (number we will write on our arm with a marker)
3. 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.
APPROXIMATE (Tentative|Times, these will be updated the day before the race so you could be in one of 3 heats for example within a 30 minute time span)

5. 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 will likely have to cancel the event. If the event is unable to take place, we will be offering refunds, there will be a refund surcharge.
