YOUTH IN SPORTS
Event Power is happy to be able to provide kids the opportunity to participate in multi-sport events. We emphasize the importance of participation; therefore all of the youths will receive a finisher medal.
We focus on staging a safe and fun event for the kids as well as the spectators. Our goal is to expose young kids to the sport of triathlon in an environment where they feel like a winner regardless of when they cross the finish line.
Join us in celebrating the potential of our youth!
COURSE
The Mini MightyMan Triathlon is a pool triathlon, which means the swim is in a pool rather than open water. Each athlete will start 5 seconds apart, in a 50 meter pool. This event will include a swim, bike, run and a transition area. It is open for youths 7-15 years old. The run is on grass while the bike is on closed roads in the park. It is a great way to get involved in the sport and keep youths active.

100 meter swim, 2 miles (3.2 K) bike, 1/4 mile run
11-15 years
200 meter swim, 2 miles (3.2 K) bike, 1/2 mile run
