Oregon Kids Triathlon Registration Now Open

Oregon Kids Triathlon Details and Registration

While you’re registering for summer session (hint, hint) don’t forget to sign up your young athletes for this summer’s Oregon Kids Triathlon.

The Oregon Community Swim Club’s 4th Annual Oregon Kids Triathlon will be held on August 8, 2009. The event format will be pool swim, in-village bike course, and on-trail run course. There will be six age groups from 5 to 17 years old. We will have participation awards, T-shirts, goody bags, and age-group awards.

This is an opportunity for your young athlete to participate in an enjoyable life-experience through athletics. It is not structured as a highly competitive event. Rather, the objective is to encourage self-confidence, good health and community spirit through participation. This year’s event will be limited to the first 500 registrants.

Online registrations, via active.com, will be accepted until August 5 at 8:00pm. The online entry fee is $30. The fee for a manually submitted entry is $40.
