Date: Sunday, August 9, 2025

Time: 7:00 AM

Location: Stevenson Park, Friendswood, TX

Get ready to swim, bike, run, and celebrate the outdoors! The Figgy Kids Triathlon is named after everyone's favorite eco-friendly mascot, Figgy the Squirrel! This beginner-friendly race is perfect for newbies and more experienced youth triathletes too—it's a great summer challenge with a side of outdoor fun.

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ The Course

Set in the scenic Stevenson Park, racers will dash through shaded trails lined with majestic oak trees and native Texas plants. You’ll swim in the pool, pedal past cheering volunteers, and run under a canopy of oaks.

Two Waves of Racing Fun:

We have two USAT age-based divisions, with appropriately sized courses for every level of racer:

🟢 Council Wave (Ages 6–10)

• 100-yard pool swim

• 2.8-mile bike

• 0.6-mile run

🔵 Mayor’s Wave (Ages 11–16)

• 200-yard pool swim

• 4.4-mile bike

• 1.5-mile run

Whether your athlete is a seasoned triathlete or is just getting started, the Figgy Kids Triathlon offers a safe, supportive, and fun environment for all.

🎉 Why You'll Love It:

• Fun, beginner-friendly race environment

• Beautiful, shaded park course

• Real race swag for all participants

• Great summer challenge before the school year starts

🐿 Who is Figgy?

Figgy the Squirrel is the official mascot of Friendswood’s Keep Friendswood Beautifulinitiative. We’re excited to encourage environmental awareness and a love for our local parks—just like the things Figgy stands for. 🌳♻️

Let’s race under the oaks and keep Friendswood beautiful—Figgy would approve! 🐿🌎
