The 13th Annual Colgate Kids Triathlon is just around the corner. The race will take place on Monday, May 7th (ISB holiday) at 7:30AM starting at the ISB and Nichada pools. On the ISB calendar, the race was scheduled for Chakri Day (Friday, April 6th) but since this is now a learning day at ISB, the event has been moved to May 7th.
It’s shaping up to be an incredible event! Again this year the triathletes will receive timing chips to wear around their ankles for accurate time and distance recording. The Relay Race will again allow relay teams in each age division (based upon the oldest participant in the relay team), so athletes can form teams of three people to participate together. One of the relay team members can be a teacher or other adult this year.
The distances this year will be:
· 5-6: 50m swim, 1 km bike, 450m run
· 7-8: 100m swim, 2.5 km bike, 800m run
· 9-10: 150m swim, 4.5 km bike, 1.2 km run
· 11-12: 200m swim, 4.5 km bike, 1.7 km run
· 13-14: 250m swim, 6.8 km bike, 2.4 km run
· 15+ : 350m swim, 9.1 km bike, 3.1 km run
Registration and other information will follow in the few weeks. But please mark your calendar with the new triathlon date.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
