SMU to host Trinona Kids Triathlon

The Trinona Kids Triathlon is a swim/bike/run triathlon for kids ages 5 through 13, hosted by Saint Mary’s June 13. Each triathlete will swim in the SMU pool, bicycle on campus, and finish the competition on the outdoor track. No experience is necessary. This is a low-key, fun, athletic competition.

Snacks and giveaways will be provided after the race. Participants need to bring swimsuits, goggles, towels, bikes, helmets, running shoes and any other items needed for the race.

Youth ages 5 to 7 swim 25 yards, bike 1 mile and run a quarter mile; ages 8 to 10 swim 75 yards, bike 1 mile and run a half mile; and ages 11 to 13 swim 175 yards, bike 2 miles and run three quarters of a mile.
