Triathlon Information
Join York YMCA Swimming for healthy family fun at the 2nd Annual “Tri it for Fun” Kid’s 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.
New for 2010: 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!!
