  HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS GRIEVING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

  Each year, Lighthouse supports over 400 children, youth, and their families as they navigate their grief after the life-altering loss of a parent or sibling. Your event registration or donation will fund our grief support groups to ensure there is no cost to families who need them.

  Lighthouse does not receive government funding, so we rely on fundraising events and the generosity of our communities to be able to continue to offer our services free of charge to those that need them.

  Please join and help us ensure that no child grieves alone.

  TIMING: Warm Up/Opening Remarks - 8:30AM | 1K Start - 9:00AM | 5K Start - 9:30AM

  2026 TRi KiDS Burlington – June 7, 2026

  *** Regulations from the City of Burlington will require athletes in the 6-7 age group to wear a lifejacket (no exceptions are provided). Additionally, athletes in the 8-9 and 10-11 age groups will need to complete a 25m swim test or wear a life jacket. ***

  The TRi KiDS Triathlon Series offers safe, non-competitive, confidence-building races for children and youth ages 3 to 13. TRi KiDS events combine three sports kids love: swimming, biking and running. We celebrate participation with the goal of encouraging a positive, healthy attitude towards physical activity and instilling self-confidence. The achievement of each athlete is recognized…and not just at the finish line!

  We believe if children and youth engage in activities in a positive and supportive environment they will be active for life. The TRi KiDS commitment is to create memorable events where the athletes are the focus and their participation is celebrated by their family and friends, our volunteers and us.

  The 2026 TRi KiDS Triathlon Series schedule of races can be found on our website.
