Every run, swim, ride and race

Join us for the Kids Try-A-Tri, a fun and beginner-friendly youth event hosted as part of the Wyalusing North Branch Triathlon weekend!

This event is designed to give kids a chance to experience the excitement of a triathlon-style challenge in a safe, encouraging, and low-pressure environment. Participants will complete a short loop around Grovedale Winery with age-appropriate activities that keep the focus on movement, confidence, and fun.

The Kids Try-A-Tri is perfect for young participants who want to try something new, cheer each other on, and be part of race weekend in a way that is built just for them. This is not about speed or cut throat competition it’s about getting active, building confidence, and celebrating every kid who gives it a try.

Families are encouraged to come out, cheer loud, and enjoy the community atmosphere at Grovedale Winery. Whether your child is brand new to events like this or already loves to run, bike, paddle, or play outside, the Kids Try-A-Tri is a great way to make them part of the Triathlon weekend fun.

And here’s a slightly shorter version if Active gives you less room:
