The 15th Annual Colgate Kids Triathlon is just around the corner. The race will take place on Coronation Day, Monday, May 5th (ISB holiday) 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 and other information will follow in the few weeks. But please mark your calendar with this year’s triathlon date. Please note that all participants must provide their own bike and bike helmet.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks
