What is Kiwanis Kids?
The Kiwanis Kids Triathlon Series allows
young athletes to experience
the fun and excitement of triathlon.
It's a morning of friendly competition and
physical activity that can lead to
a lifetime of fitness. Seven of the races are for
youth ages 7-12.
What is Triathlon?
Triathlon is an exciting sport for young athletes
because it involves three activities that every child
enjoys - swimming, cycling and running.
For more than 13 years, Kiwanis Clubs
in the Greater Houston area have sponsored
races in the Kiwanis Kids Triathlon Series.
Race Details
Participants race by "age groupings" -- 7-8 year olds, 9 year olds,
10 year olds and 11-12 year olds. Age groupings are based on the
participant's age as of Dec. 31, 2009.
Those who are 13 as of Dec. 31, but are 12 on race day
will still be permitted to race.
7-9 year olds swim 50M, bike 1 mile and run 1/4 mile.
The distances are doubled for 10-12 year olds.
