Go to www.usatmembership.com for membership details - it only takes a few minutes to sign up and costs only $5 for the whole year. Your child must present their membership card to pick up their packet (a temporary card can be printed from the USAT website). | |

Please consider volunteering for this event. We request one volunteer per participant to help man the course and provide a safe environment for everyone. |

Training sessions: - All registered participants may attend the free training sessions 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 Springfield(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 and Times TBD
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! |
