FREE EVENT FOR THE COMMUNITY

      

Thank you to our Sponsors in collaboration with the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA for making this event possible!

The triathlon is for youth ages 6-14 and combines swimming, biking, and running in an exciting paced format that promotes fun, fitness, and self-confidence. Race distances are age appropriate. The swim portion takes place in the YMCA pool. If needed, participants will be provided a flotation device and assistance in the lane. After completing the swim, the triathlete runs to his or her bike, puts on a helmet and shoes to ride the bike course. At the end of the bike course, the triathlete will run or walk the rest of the race on the 1/2 mile community walking path around the soccer field and is cheered on as they cross the finish line!

All participants receive an event T-shirt and a medal at the awards ceremony on the YMCA Splash Pad for the entire family to enjoy.
