Registration for the 18th Colgate Kids Triathlon is now open. We only have room for 100 additional participants so please don’t delay your registration if you are interested. Registration will close on Sunday, April 30th or when we reach our maximum participants, whichever comes first.
Wednesday, May 10th (Visaka Bucha – School Holiday) – 7:30am
- The Colgate Kids Triathlon has been held for 17 years at ISB and Nichada
- It is a great opportunity for kids to have a real triathlon experience (including using timing chips)
- Participants do NOT have to be ISB students. We have many students from Patana, NIST and Shrewsbury who participate.
- Kids from age 5 – 18 can participate
- There is a 500 baht fee to participate
- All registrations must provide one volunteer to help on race day or pay a THB 2,000 (no volunteer fee). The Organizing Committee will use this money to hire High School students or others to help out on the day.
- Please note that all kids must have their own bike and must use a helmet during the biking portion of the triathlon.
NEW RACES & FORMAT THIS YEAR!
We are looking forward to two great races at the heart of our day along with two side events for those interested. This year, the races are as follows:
The Main Events
- Try-a-Tri:(designed for 8 years old & under) / Swim – Bike – Run
Students will start with a 50-meter swim (25-meter pool), followed by an 800m bike ride in the ISB parking lot and a 500m run around the track. Participants will not be timed, and all will receive a participation medal.
- Triathlon:(designed for 8 or 9 and older) / Swim – Bike – Run
A 200 meter swim (50-meter pool), 5 km bike ride and 1 km run will allow all students a nice, healthy challenge. Everyone will start and race together but with the help of “chip timing” results, ribbons will be awarded for First-Second-Third place finishers in three divisions: U11, U14, & U19 (Girls & Boys). Participation medals will also be awarded.
On The Side
- “Do the Double”:Designed specifically for established athletes who have been exercising regularly for a long period of time, this event doubles each of the regular triathlon distances, 400m Swim (50-meter pool), 10 km Bike, 2 km Run. If you’ve been swimming, biking and running regularly, feel free to take on the challenge. Everyone will start and race together but with the help of “chip timing” results, ribbons will be awarded for First-Second-Third place finishers in three divisions: U11, U14, & U19 (Girls & Boys). Participation medals will also be awarded.
- Duathlon:(Any age group/division may enter) / Run – Bike – Run
Want the challenge without the swim? Then consider a new Run-Bike-Run event! Athletes will run 1 km, then bike 5 km, then run the same run distance, 1 km a second time. Ribbons will be awarded for First-Second-Third place finishers in three divisions: U11, U14, & U19 (Girls & Boys). Participation medals will also be awarded.
*** NOTE: There will not be any relays this year.
