Triathlon Information

Join York YMCA Swimming for healthy family fun at the “Tri it for Fun” Kids' Triathlon!

Children ages 7 to 14 will swim in the new Graham Aquatic Center indoor pool, then transition to a short, but hilly, bike ride around Farquahr Park, and will finish up with a quick run around Kiwanis Lake.  Distances are designed to be fun but a little challenging to allow children of all fitness levels to participate.

Parent Fun Run:  You're never too old for some healthy family fun!  We have added a parents/guardians “Tri it for Fun” heat following the kids' heats.  Distances are equal to the 13-14 age group.  Kids, cheer for your parent as they run across the finish line!!
