About this run
Welcome to the Sportsplex Tri for Kids & Small Fry Tri! We’re excited to celebrate 15 years of getting kids moving, challenging themselves, and having fun! The Sportsplex Tri for Kids is a USAT-sanctioned triathlon for ages 5–15, featuring age-appropriate swim, bike, and run distances. Athletes will compete at the age they are as of December 31, 2027. A USAT membership is required, and a one-day membership can be purchased during registration. Our Sportsplex Small Fry Tri is a fun, non-competitive event designed especially for our littlest athletes, ages 2–5. Kids will slide down the splash park water slide, ride anything with wheels they choose, and then make their way to the finish line for an exciting run through the finish arch! Whether this is your child’s first triathlon or another year of racing with us, we can’t wait to welcome your young athlete and celebrate with your family!
