Peachtree Corners Kids Triathlon

The 2012 event is SOLD OUT. Please check back for the 2013 event.

Locally-focused Peachtree Corners family event for children ages 6-15 competing in three age-appropriate distances in this low-key, introductory triathlon.

This event is a fun and supportive race to introduce kids to a triathlon competition. While competition is a critical element of any race, a supportive and participative environment of the parents and community is a primary goal. Higher skilled youth athletes should consider IronKids and other youth triathlons events that are professionally organized with longer distances.

•Register the Whole Family! $5 discount will be deducted for each additional participant from the same family.

• Mandatory pre-race packet pick-up: Friday, August 10, 2012 5:00 to 8:00. Race numbers and T-Shirts will be provided to each participant.

•Participants must be registered with USA Triathlon. During registration, you can validate current membership numbers or purchase a membership. Annual youth memberships are $15. One-day event memberships are $10. If you anticipate competing in more than one triathlon, register as an annual youth member.

• RACE AGE: Age groups follow USAT rules which state that racers compete in the age group for the age they will be on December 31 of the race year. Your child will be assigned division distances based on the age at December 31, 2012. If you feel the distance is too long for your child to successfully complete you may age them down to the shorter race; however, they will not be eligible for place awards (all racers will receive a finishers medals regardless). If you wish to age your child down please email me at shanej99@gmail.com since the website will not allow you to do that.
