Tri-Kids-Try Youth Triathlon

Tri-Kids-Try Youth Triathlon – July 17-18

Nobody is too small to accomplish something BIG! Get ready to swim, bike, and run your way to celebration in a triathlon designed specifically for young athletes – Tri-Kids-Try Youth Triathlon, powered by Great Lakes Bay Orthodontics. Kids will build confidence and have fun in this youth triathlon as they swim, bike and run their way around and through Plymouth Park to reach the finish. Along the way, our race volunteers are there to help racers and cheer them on to the finish line where they will receive their TKT Finishers Medal!
