Course Description:
Swim is in a 6 lane, 25 yd pool. Time trial start. Kids will start 10 seconds apart with their age group. We start 11-17 year olds first then 8-10 and end with 5-7 with time gaps in between to provide the most safe race course possible. Swim start times will be posted on race morning. Estimate start times for 8-10 year olds will be 9 am and 9:30 for 5-7 year olds.
Bike will be on closed streets - See COURSE MAP. This is 1 loop=1.7 miles.(Older groups need to do multiple loops).
Run is on sidewalk. See COURSE MAP. This is 1 loop=.45 miles.(Older groups need to do multiple loops).
Parking is located in swim club lot but cars cannot be moved until after the last finisher is in. Additional parking will be available on certain streets close to the race site. Please follow all signs such as No Parking due to Bike Lanes, etc. Prepare for restricted access during the race. NO PARKING ON THE RACE COURSE. |

Awards We will present all finishers with an award and enter their bib number into a raffle filled with goodies. Age Group, Team Challenge and Relay awards will be presented at the end of the race. Results will be posted on the website that week.
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 on location at Lochmere (meet in the club parking lot) and conducted by KIT staff. Bring everything you would on race day as we will ride and run the course.
Please reserve a space by emailing us at info@kidsintraining.com
Dates TBA
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, swim, bike or run that distance slowly until you can complete it without stopping. Then try combining a swim/bike, swim/run or a bike/run, 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! |
