Welcome to Chix/Kidz triathlon weekend. We are excited about for our 4th year at Pointe Marie. We will have chip timing m. Results will be for start/finish and will not include splits but will allow for us to determine awards for each division. We will award 1st/2nd/3rd Male and Female for Falcons, Sputniks, Apollo, and Saturn. We use AGE ON RACE DAY TO DETERMINE DIVISIONS. Additionally, if your child is in a "Beginner division" 10 minutes will be added to their time to determine eligibility for awards in their division. Beginner divisions are for racers that require the assistance of a parent and/or flotation devices and/or training wheels.
Kidz is for racers ages 3-14 yrs old (based on their age on RACE DAY). Your child's age tells you what division they race in (Falcon/Sputnik/Apollo/Saturn) and their division tells you how far they have to go to complete each leg of the race.
Cancellation/Refund Policy: NO REFUNDS. We purchase supplies/goodies for this race well in advance of the event and cannot offer refunds. Racers can transfer their entry to another racer as long as there is availability for that division. Transfers are allowed until 7/15/26. Use the "Contact Us" link to get assistance with a transfer.
This race will not be rescheduled. The cancellation of this event is at the discretion of race directors. Cancellation will occur if thunder or lightning is present in the area. We will do everything in our power to allow the event to take place, but we will not compromise the safety of our little racers. Cancellation is done on the morning of the event from the race site. We may delay the start if needed to accommodate a storm in the area.

The 2026 River Roux Olympic Triathlon will be held on October 10th!
River Roux features a 1.5K swim, 40K bike ride, and a 10K run in historic New Roads. The race has aquabike, duathlon, and relay divisions. It wraps up with awards and a finish fest in the greenspace across from transition.
RKF is a non-profit organization whose mission is to create and sustain active, fit and healthy children, families and communities through programming, advocacy and education, as an effort to fight childhood obesity through multisport events and camp scholarship and grant programs. RKF also gives back to local schools/clubs in the cities that welcome us there, such as Boy Scouts, parish and city programs, 4-H, local schools, and more.
Entries are limited to 300 competitors.
SWIM
The swim course will be a double loop clockwise swim that begins and ends at the floating dock. Starting at 6:45 a.m. we will have a designated swim warm up area for your use with safety personnel managing the area. The entire course is not open for warm up. Athletes will enter and exit False River at the floating dock. Athletes will be staged along the grass area behind the ramp.
We will have safety personnel on the course. You may hang on to kayaks and paddle boards to catch your breath but cannot use them to make any forward progress. Your safety is our primary concern, and we urge you to raise your hand to alert safety personnel if you are in distress. Similarly, if you observe another athlete in clear distress, please stop and alert safety personnel. Upon exiting the swim course, you will run straight up the gangway of the floating dock and along the carpeted area leading to the stairs to access the transition area.
Self-Seeded Start
Athletes will seed themselves according to swim pace. Swimmers will enter the water 1 at a time, every 3 seconds.
Waves
The swim is a time trial start.
BIKE
The bike course is an out-and-back around False River. Remember that all the roads on the bike course will remain open to traffic throughout the race. We will have police and volunteers at major intersections, but you are still to ride with safety as your primary priority. Every turn on the course will be marked with signs to the right side of the road, as well as orange marks in the road.
There will be SAG support vehicles on the bike course providing assistance with minor mechanical issues throughout the day.
RUN
River Roux run course (coming soon!). There will be 4-5 aid stations on the course. We will be serving water, Powerade, and gels (variety of flavors) at all aid stations.
