14th Colgate Kids Triathlon registration is open!
The 14th Annual Colgate Kids Triathlon is just around the corner. The race will take place on Monday, May 6th (Coronation Day substitute) at 7:30AM starting at the two ISB pools. 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 will close on Monday, April 29th. No late registrations will be permitted so make sure you register before the close date! The fee per participant is THB 500 (THB 1,500 for relay teams). All participants will receive a water bottle, towel and race bag.
All registrations must provide one volunteer to help on race day or pay a THB 1,000 (no volunteer fee)
Please note that all bike riders must have their own bicycle and must wear a helmet.
