The Clark Memorial YMCA is presenting the fourth annual Kids Triathlon on July 17, starting at 9 am. Participants will compete in three different age categories 7 & 8 years olds who will swim 25 yards, bike 1 mile and run .33 mile (one lap around the track). 9 & 10 year old athletes will be swimming 50 yards, biking 1.2 miles and running 0.65 miles. Our oldest group (11&12 years old) will swim 75 yards, bike 1.5 miles and run 1 mile.

Participants are encouraged to pre-register, but registration will also be available at 8 am the morning of the event. The children will swim at the Clark YMCA pool, bike on the brand new bike path in Winchendon and run on The Clark Memorial YMCA track.

All participants will receive a medal, a t-shirt (only guaranteed for preregistered athletes) and a goody bag. The event will be timed and winners of each age group will be verbally recognized.

Members of the Clark Memorial YMCA can register online. Non-members can download the registration form or pick up the registration form at the Clark Memorial YMCA.

We have great support for this year’s race! The Winchendon Kiwanis volunteers will be doing free bike and helmet fitting for kids (not only kid’s triathlon participants). Gear Work's volunteers will be doing a free bike safety check. Hannaford Supermarket and Subway will be providing healthy snacks and drinks for kids.

We are looking for volunteers to help with the Kid’s Triathlon on July 17 as well as volunteers for the adult Mass State Triathlon on July 18. For more information on the Kid’s Triathlon Race and the volunteer opportunities please contact Veronika Patty at 978-297-9622 or at vpatty@theclark.com.
