The RipRoar Youth Triathlon Series welcomes athletes ages 6-15 years old, as of December 31, 2026, of all backgrounds and abilities to complete a course of swimming, biking, and running at age-appropriate distances.
The RipRoar Youth Triathlon Series has received numerous awards and nominations for its work empowering and teaching youth life lessons through endurance athletics.
This run honors Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson who was KIA on August 6, 2011 while serving in Afghanistan. All proceeds from the race will support Retrieving Freedom, Inc. to provide service dogs to our veterans.
Navy Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Jon Thomas "JT" Tumilson was killed along with 29 other Americans and 1 service dog on August 6, 2011 when the chinook he was traveling on was shot down in Wardak Province, Afghanistan. To honor his memory, his family founded 3 Minutes Out, Inc which is a non-profit established to help active duty military, veterans, and their families through various programs.
Jon had a love for life and running was one of the things he loved to do. To honor his memory his family has planned an annual 5K run and walk to encourage others to get fit no matter what their physical fitness level. Jon was the type of guy that set his goals high and never let obstacles stand in his way. He always remained positive and just pressed on. We want others to "Crush Their Excuses to Conquer Their Goals" and honor his memory and all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice through service to this country.
When you are registering, we encourage you to create team names. We will again be awarding an award for the largest Corporate Team and the largest Family Team so grab your friends, family, and coworkers and join us for a fun race day through the same trails that JT used to run through.
The VIRTUAL RUN is for those that can't be present at the event, but will run somewhere that day in honor of JT.
ANY registrations received after Friday July 11, 2025 will NOT be guaranteed a race shirt. Also, any shirts not picked up on race day will not be mailed to the participant unless prior arrangements have been made.

The Tama-Toledo Aquatic Pool Board is committed to offering a swim program that provides opportunities for youth to learn basic swimming skills in a group environment. Every effort is made to ensure the safety of all participants during the lessons. Therefore, instructors and students must follow rules pertaining to safety and instruction.
Normally, students in levels 1- 3 will not be allowed to dive off the board during free time due to safety concerns. Instructors may be in the water with students most of the time (lower levels especially) but must also be out of the water to evaluate strokes from the deck (upper levels).
The cities of Tama and Toledo employs certified Water Safety Instructors as much as possible; younger instructors are certified Water Safety Aides who can often motivate and work closely with the younger students. Games may be used to encourage practice of skills and new techniques. Free time at the end of each class is given to allow children a recreational swim; instructors are responsible for their classes until the end of the period. Testing, grading and evaluations are always approved by the Site Director.
If you have any questions about the skills involved or about the administration of the program, please contact the Director, Jamie Upah at: [email protected].
