We will have two different races, starting with the first race for the older kids(9-14 year olds) and the 8 year olds and under will go after (about 8:30). Boys will go in the first heat, girls about 3 minutes back. First heat starts at 8:00AM.

The kids will line up on the east side of the beach. The swim will be a small horseshoe -type course with at least 8 lifeguards/Support angels in the water. No one will be more than 100 yards from shore. Swim out a little along the buoys, keeping the buoys on their left side at all time.

Exit the water on the west side, up the stairs and into the transition area. Please no adults or parents in the transition area during the event. At this time, please make sure your bib is on the front of your shirt, from going out on the bike to finishing the event.

Bike Route Here are the maps for the bike course. The 9-14 year olds will be doing two loops. When they come back to River Road and the end of the loop, they will turn left and repeat the loop. Older kids will be given a slap band on their wrist to let us know at the next lap they will be finished. The second time around they turn directly into the finish and walk /run their bikes to the entrance to the transition area right onto Washington, then left on Hunt Street. Younger Triathletes will only do one loop and will be given the slap bands upon going out on their first loop..
-
Run Route. This is the run route for the older kids, 1/2 mile out turn around and come back. Younger kids will do exactly half of that. Out Hunt Street, turn right on Washington to the end, turn around and back. Younger kids will only go to Church street (water stop) and come back.
