Otter Romp Youth Triathlon

In 2022 the Keene Family YMCA and the Burns Heisler Family partnered to bring you the first youth triathlon to be held at the Keene YMCA.  We are excited to continue that tradition in 2025 and welcome new triathletes to the endurance sports family.

Your race registration includes a t-shirt, finisher’s medal, and age group awards three deep in two-year age groups (5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12).  The swim takes place in the Keene Family YMCA pool, the bike is held on a completely closed bike course on Summit Road, and the run takes places on the YMCA grounds at 200 Summit Road in Keene.
