The 26th Annual 2020 Muskoka Kids Tri
Cancelled due to COVID-19
Announcement from the Event Organizers:
We hope that your families are well and able to stay active while staying safe.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 social distancing policies and the risks inherent with an endurance event with hundreds of participants, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 edition of the Muskoka Kids Tri. We understand this is a disappointment for you, your children and your families who were looking forward to the 26th year of the event in beautiful Port Sydney. We’re so disappointed too! However, I’m sure you can understand the risks of hosting an event of this nature during this uncertain period. This event is dear to our hearts, and we want to see it continue in 2021 and beyond.
As such we would like to offer those of you who have registered the following three options to convert your 2020 registrations to ensure it’s able to proceed in future years:
A) Donate your registration to our charity partner, One Kids Place
B) Defer your registration for free to the 2021 Muskoka Kids Tri (July 17th, 2021)
C) Refund of your registration less a $20 admin fee and original processing fee **
** For those who purchased the extended refund policy during their registration, we are offering a full refund less original processing fee.
Once you have decided on the right option for you, please follow these steps before June 28th, 2020:
- Sign into your Race Roster account here
- Click “Edit registration” in the right corner of the screen
- Choose from the options under the question “How would you like to convert your registration?”
- Click ‘save & exit’
Please make your choice of how you would like to convert your registration by Sunday June 28, 2020 so that we can process your request in a timely manner.
We hope to see you in 2021 healthy and excited to be part of this Muskoka tradition.
Stay active. Stay safe.
Justine and Rob

An Event with FUN as the Focus
The Muskoka Kids Tri is an event for kids who like to have fun. Many participants are first-time triathletes. This is NOT an event suitable for kids looking for a super-competitive triathlon experience. No wetsuits for any age group. No clipless pedals for racers 14 and under. No training wheels.
This is also an ideal event for parents to 'try a tri'. We highly encourage this! There is a long tradition of whole families participating and kids getting inspiration from watching their parents participate.
The Muskoka Kids Tri sells out early every year. There are only so many people that can fit into our transition area at Port Sydney Beach. Because we want to have as many spaces as possible for kids - there are only 60 adult spots available. Ideally these spots will be filled by the parents of the kids participating.
Participants in the adult category be able to swim the 400m without a life jacket. This relates to the timing of opening the transition area for participants who have completed their triathlon.
Charity for 2020
One Kids Place Children’s Treatment Centre is a regional not for profit, multi-service agency providing community based rehabilitation, specialized clinic services and related support services for children and youth (from birth to 19 years) with communication, developmental and physical disabilities. One Kids Place provides services to families in the Districts of Muskoka, Nipissing and Parry Sound. One Kids Place provides an integrated range of services and supports which recognize the changing physical, emotional and psychological aspects of a child’s development. One Kids Place services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, social work, therapeutic recreation, as well as a number of specialized clinics.
Extended Refund Policy (ERP)
Our Extended Refund Policy (ERP) will allow participants to get a FULL refund on their registration fee (not including ERP and processing fees) up to noon on July 11th, 2020. This is ideal for participants who want to secure the early bird pricing discount but are worried they may have a conflict by the time July 18th rolls around and may need to cancel. Note: processing fees and the ERP fee are not refundable. Must be purchased with each individual registered at the time of registration (ie. one ERP purchase does not cover a whole group or family).
