Registration for the 17th Colgate Kids Triathlon is now open. The race will take place on Coronation Day, Thursday May 5th (ISB holiday) at 7:30AM starting at the two ISB pools. Registration and other information can be found at https://www.isb.ac.th/colgate-kids-triathlon. Please note that race maps are also posted on the website
The fee per participant is THB 500 and all participants must provide a volunteer to help on race day or pay a THB 2,000 fee if they can’t provide a volunteer.
It’s shaping up to be an incredible event! Again this year the triathletes (7 years old and up) will receive timing chips to wear around their ankles for accurate time and distance recording. The Relay Race will 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 even be a teacher or other adult but this means that all 3 members of the relay team must complete the 15+ age groups distances shown below. Please note that only one registration is required for the relay team. Each individual member of the relay team should not register.
The distances this year will be:
• 5-6 year old : 50m swim, 1km bike, 450m run
• 7-8 year old: 100m swim, 2.5 km bike, 800m run
• 9-10 year old: 150m swim, 4.5 km bike, 1.0 km run
• 11-12 year old: 200m swim, 4.5 km bike, 1.7 km run
• 13-14 year old: 250m swim, 6.8 km bike, 2.4 km run
• 15+ year old : 350m swim, 9.1 km bike, 3.1 km run
Registration will close on Friday, April 29th or when 210 athletes have registered, whichever comes first. So please register now to avoid disappointment.
Please note that all participants must provide their own bike and bike helmet.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
