What is Kiwanis Kids?
The Kiwanis Kids Triathlon Series allows
young athletes ages 7 to 12 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.
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.
What are the Race Details?
Participants race by "age groupings" -- 7-8 year olds, 9 year olds,
10-11 year olds and 12 year olds. Age groupings are based on the
participant's age as of Dec. 31, 2008.
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.
What do Participants Receive?
Every participant receives a t-shirt, goodie bag and finisher's medal.
The top three boys and girls in each age category receive a trophy.
What are the entry fees?
Pre-registration is $20. Race day registration is $25.
You may register online or by mail (click on race schedule for links)
Mail registrations must be postmarked the Monday preceding each race.
Participants Must Join USA Triathlon
All participants must join USA Triathlon to race in the Kiwanis Kids Triathlon series. You may join on race day, but we strongly encourage you to join ahead of time. If possible, join USA Triathlon FIRST and then register online.
Annual memberships for youth are just $5. Visit www.usatriathlon.org
