Start Training! The Charleston Youth Triathlon Is Next Month
It’s time to put on your running shoes and start training for the Youth Triathlon.
Presented in conjunction with Palmetto TRIbe, the annual Youth Triathlon at James Island County Park, and we’ve got all the details so you can sign up your children asap!
You or your children are really into sports and fitness? This is the perfect opportunity to show it. The annual Youth Triathlon has been confirmed for the end of July, and registration is now open.
This is a multi-sport experience like no other in the area — the first to offer an open-water swim and the perfect opportunity for young people of different ages to experience a lake swim in a safe, well-monitored course. After the swim, participants will traverse the shaded paths and roads inside the park on the run and bike course.
The triathlon will take place on Saturday, July 30, 2022, at 7:15 am, and there is registration for two different age groups:
- 7-10-year-olds
- 11-15-year-olds
Other important details:
- Participants 11-15 will complete a 200-yard swim, 6-mile bike, and 2-mile run
- Participants ages 7-10 will complete a 100-yard swim, 3-mile bike, and 1-mile run
- On-site registration will not be available
