Stamford KIC IT Kids Triathlon

Calling all kids! The first annual Stamford KIC IT Kids Triathlon will be held on Saturday, June 25 at Cove Beach in Stamford. Limited to the first 100 registrants.

Open to children ages 7 to 13, the Stamford KIC IT Kids Triathlon is a fantastic opportunity for youngsters to participate in an enjoyable athletic event that promotes a healthy lifestyle, provides a chance to meet new friends and builds self-confidence. Children ages 7 – 10 will complete a course consisting of a 50 meter swim, 2 mile bike, and a half mile run, while young people ages 11 – 13 cover a 150 meter swim, 4 mile bike, and 1 mile run.

Promoting a philosophy of completion rather than competition, the focus of the KIC IT Kids Triathlon is not on finish times, placing or rankings. Rather, the goal is for children to have fun and enjoy the experience. In this spirit, each child will receive a custom medal when they cross the finish line.

Entry is $35 per child, and proceeds benefit Kids in Crisis. Youngsters also have the opportunity to further help children residing at Kids in Crisis by fundraising. For more details on the Stamford KIC IT Kids Triathlon and to register, please visit www.kicittriathlon.com/kids-triathlon.
