Tri for Fun Multi-Sport Youth Event
About this race
Join us for the 8th Annual Tri For Fun race on Saturday, May 30th 2026 for this family fun event. We encourage all kids ages 5-15 to come out, and Swim- Bike-Run to the finish line. The swim takes place in our Olympic outdoor pool, and a run and bike through the surrounding neighborhoods makes this race a perfect event!

What is Tri for Fun?
A family fun event to encourage youth ages 5-15 to participate in a Triathlon and HAVE FUN!
Family Fun
From face painting to snow cones, this event will be a fun time for the whole family.
Swag
Register by May 1st to guarantee your t-shirt. All finishers receive a Finishers Medal. Top female and male winners were awarded for 5-8, 9-11, and 12-15 age divisions.
Three Age Divisions: Ages 5-8, 9-11, and 12-15.
All participants will receive a medal commemorating the events. The top finishers will receive additional recognition and medals. To be eligible for top finisher awards the participant must complete the event without outside assistance. Examples of things that would disqualify an athlete from a top finisher prize include: not completing the entire distance in the pool, wearing of any flotation device, and physical assistance from parents while on the course. This is not to be seen as a complete list and ultimately a decision to DQ will rest with event officials.
Age Distances are based on recommendations by USA Triathlon. Click the "Course Map" tab to learn more.
