The triathlon includes the traditional events of swimming, biking, and running, with appropriate distances for various ages including 5-6 year-olds, 7-9 year-olds, 10-12 year-olds and 13-16 year-olds.
Registration to pick up course materials will be from 11:15 a.m.-noon on Oct. 6 outside at the New Richmond Centre. The race begins at 12:15 p.m. at The Centre pool. The bike routes will take participants to the Middle School track to finish the race with the age appropriate run.
Registration is available online through New Richmond Community Education youth sports events and is strongly encouraged before race day. Registration is $30 by Sept. 20, which guarantees an event t-shirt. After Sept. 20, the registration fee is $35.
