First Coast Kids Triathlon
On May 2, more than 400 kids between the ages of 5 and 15 will race to the finish line at the First Coast Kids Triathlon. Triathlons consist of four components - swimming, biking, running and transitions. If children can swim four laps in a pool and ride their bikes for 20 minutes, they can successfully complete a kids triathlon. All race distances are set by the USAT and are designed to be challenging, yet achievable for first-timers. In fact, 80% of last year’s participants were first-timers!
Several branches throughout the First Coast will offer free training programs to get kids ready for the big day. The Johnson Family YMCA will offer a training program starting the week of March 8 on Thursdays from 6:00pm-7:00pm.
