Aerobic Power is sponsoring a super event for any family. The Merriott Triathlon/Duathlon/Kids of Steel provides something for any age, ability and comfort level. The Kids of Steel is NEW this year.
The Kids of Steel Triathlon is a community event supporting healthy active lifestyles. Kids of Steel events are designed to offer our younger generation 5-16 the opportunity to participate in Triathlons in a positive environment. Emphasis is on fun and safety. The distances are much shorter than those in adult triathlons and geared to individual ability so they offer a challenge but are short enough to be completed. Most kids are fit enough to finish a Kids of Steel Triathlon successfully and have fun at the same time.
Race distances for kids can be found at http://www.canacal.com/merriottkos/info.html
Adults can compete in the following distances as an individual or a team.
Triathon: Swim 750m / Bike 20Km / Run 5 km
Duathlon: Run 5km / Bike 20Km / Run 5 km
Merriott Fitness would like to provide an incentive for you to register early. Check out great prizes for registration before June 30th.
