MiTi Kids Triathlon

Each athlete will need:

• Swimsuit
• Goggles
• Towel
• Bike
• Helmet
• Running Clothes, Socks, & Shoes
• Water Bottle for transition area

At check-in, each participant will receive a swim cap.

Athletes should report to the transition area at least 15 minutes prior to their start time. There will be small wave starts, volunteers will call specific age groups to coral areas on the beach prior to start. The swim area is shallow and most kids should have no problem putting their feet down and touching if they have an issue. There will also be support in and around the water.

After the swim portion, athletes will head to the transition area where they will towel off and put on any clothing needed for the bike portion. Helmets must be worn with chin straps secured at any time the athlete is on their bike (whether the bike is in motion or not). Volunteers will help direct athletes to the “Bike Out” path to begin their bike ride.

After the bike segment, athletes will head to the transition area to return their bikes and helmets, change into any clothes needed for the run and head out. Volunteers will help direct athletes to the “Run Out” path to begin the last leg of the race. A water station will be available for the athletes as they exit the transition area.

Parents will only be allowed in the transition area during designated transition area times prior to the race starting. Once the event begins, the transition area will be closed to all family and friends. Only athletes and volunteers will be allowed in the transition area during the event. Volunteers will be available to help tie shoes, assist athletes, and direct the kids where to go. Family and friends can connect with the athlete after they have crossed the finish line and received their medal.
