Be a part of the USAT Junior National Series!

Teenage athletes who aspire to national and international-level competition must develop the speed and skill for success in the draft-legal format. USA Triathlon coordinates a series of draft-legal racing opportunities for this purpose. While not every teenage athlete aspires to race as an elite, developing the skills associated with draft-legal triathlon at an early age — a strong swim, superior bike handling, quick transitions, and the ability to run fast off the bike — will serve all athletes well as they progress as collegiate and age group competitors.

Come out and watch the draft legal athletes tackle the beautiful Pleasant Prairie course and then participate in our unique afternoon Youth event. This event will feature an event for athletes ages 6-10 years old and an event for athletes 11-14 years old. This event will be a great experience for beginners as well as experienced youth.

Other Reminders

• Don’t forget your bike helmet, no riders will be allowed on the course without one.

• When starting out on the bike course, athletes must NOT mount their bikes until they cross the “mounting line”. There will be volunteers on the course letting you know where this is. Athletes must also dismount at this line and run their bikes into the transition area for safety purposes.

• Make sure to stay to the right side of the road on the bike course unless you are passing. Once you have passed (on the LEFT), move back to the right side of the road. Be LOUD on the bike course, let a rider know you will pass by saying, “On your left!” Be Safe!
