TITANIUM MAN JR. TRIATHLON
Race date is August 1, 2026
For 7-12 year old triathletes!
Hey kids --> It's your turn! Here is a chance to give triathlon a try. See if you’ve got what it takes to get to the finish line…we think you can do it.
Hey parents --> Here is a chance for your young athletes to try something a little different by putting a swim, bike, and run together in one event. We have designed a safe course with plenty of adult supervision that will be fun for the kids to challenge. The 200-yard swim will be in the river in a shallow area near shore with plenty of adult swimmer support. The 4.5-mile bike leg is all on a bike path, except for a short portion in the boat ramp parking lot which will be heavily barricaded and controlled. Helmets are required during the bike ride. The 1-mile run will be completely on a foot path. 7 & 8 year olds will bike and run half of this distance.
IMPORTANT BIKE INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. WE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE USE OF LIGHTWEIGHT, MULTI-SPEED RACING BIKES WITH LIGHTWEIGHT SKINNY TIRES. THE OLDER KIDS HAVE COME TO BE TOO FAST ON THESE BIKES TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE COURSE. ACCEPTABLE BIKES INCLUDE MOUNTAIN BIKES, SINGLE SPEED BIKES, CRUISERS, SPIDERMAN BIKES, HELLO KITTY BIKES WITH A BASKET IN FRONT...YOU KNOW, KID'S BIKES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIKE YOU PLAN TO USE, SEND A DESCRIPTION AND A PHOTO TO ERIC AT [email protected].
What: It’s a triathlon that starts with a swim, goes directly into a bike, and then finishes with the run. Once the starting gun goes off, the action is non-stop and doesn’t end until the run is completed. The 9 to 12 year olds will finish a course that consists of a 200 yard swim, 4.5 mile bike and a one-mile run. The 7 and 8 year olds will do the same swim, but bike and run half the distance of the older kids.
Where: Howard Amon Park, Richland, Washington. Look for the picnic shelter in the south end of the park, on the river side of the Richland Community Center for race HQ.
