Young Hearts Triathlon

  • Sat • July 9, 2016 • All Day

The Young Hearts Triathlon main focus of the event is enjoyment and participation and awards will be presented to every participant upon crossing the finish line. Times will be recorded for each child and posted by age category on our website as soon as possible.

The venue for the Young Hearts Triathlon is Kinsmen Beach and the immediate area locally known as Fort Point. The race course is safe and contained with only one access and exit point in a quiet neighborhood with very light vehicular traffic. There are six age categories (4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15). The course distances will not exceed distances as set out by Triathlon Canada for KOS events and will be made up by repeating the run & cycle distances. The Young Hearts Triathlon is sanctioned by Triathlon British Columbia.
