• This will be a USAT sanctioned race. Race distances are set by the USAT and are designed to be challenging but achievable for kids. Ages 6 – 10 will swim 100 yards; bike 3 miles; and run 0.5 miles. Ages 11 – 15 will swim 200 yards; bike 6 miles; and run 1 mile. The swim is in the aquatic center pool, and the bike and run courses are closed to traffic with the safety of the participants the primary objective. • Another unique component of the Atlanta Kids Triathlon is our Pre-Race Pep Rally the night before the race. This gives all participants an opportunity to pick-up their race packets and to preview the race course. The highlight of the evening will be a Pep Talk delivered by at least one member of the Celebrity Big Kids. It will also give everyone another chance to recognize and to thank our sponsors. • Triathlon is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and this event introduces kids to a healthy, positive lifestyle that encourages daily exercise, good nutrition and making the right choices. It is a sport that rewards preparation, strength, endurance and attention to detail.
