Your child must present their membership card to pick up their packet (a temporary card can be printed from the USAT website).

All kids will receive a KIT race bag filled with goodies & a Race Souvenir!
And, as always, all KIT finishers receive a reward!

Awards We will present all finishers with an award and enter their bib number into a raffle filled with goodies. Results will be posted on the website that week in alphabetical order. KIT strives to foster motivation in fitness rather than competition against others.

Training sessions All registered participants may attend a free training session to get them familiar with the race course, transitions and get any questions answered. We highly recommend these sessions to assure your racer they will be comfortable on race day. All sessions will be held at the ATT site and conducted by KIT staff.
Please reserve a space by emailing us at info@kidsintraining.com

Kids! - - If you want to have a fun race you must prepare for it so make sure you train well before the event. Whatever your distance is for the race, bike or run that distance slowly until you can complete it without stopping. Then try combining a bike/run or run/bike, which is called a "brick". When you can do the bricks comfortably, try the single or brick distance a bit faster, even if sometimes you have to take short jogs in between intervals. Try to get in 3-5 sessions per week and make sure you get your parents to try it as well!

Refund Policy: All but $10 of your registration fee will be refunded until April 20 or until the race fills, whichever comes first. If the race fills, 50% of your entry will be refunded until April 20


 **NO Refunds after April 20**
**Race registrations are non-transferable**


In the event of inclement weather, the race directors have the right to reschedule the start time and/or cancel the competition. Delays or cancellation will be posted on our phone line the morning of the event by 10am. Unfortunately, due to costs that will have already incurred, we will not be able to refund fees; however, will do our best to reschedule the event at a later date.


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 372-7032 or email at info@kidsintraining.com
