Don't Forget Our NEW Youth Series

Children ages 7 to 15 living in New Jersey to North Carolina have a unique opportunity to participate in a first ever region-wide triathlon series. This series is important to cultivate early exercise habits and establish a lifestyle of activity.

 

The region organized the series to provide opportunities for young athletes to race close to home. The series also is intended to introduce new youth athletes to multisport and encourage race organizers to produce events focused on youth athletes. The series will run from May through September.

 

The youth events include shorter swim, bike, and run legs than in adult races that are adjusted based on age groups. Age groups generally range to include 7- to 15-year-old athletes. Athletes will earn points for participation and performance at the events in the series, and overall winners will be recognized and awarded at the end of the season.

 

The complete calendar of events and scoring information for the USA Triathlon Mid-Atlantic Youth Series is available at  usat-ma.org.
