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!
