General Information

Anyone 4-12 yrs old who can be reasonably expected to safely negotiate the distances.
Why?
For FUN! Give it a TRI!
This is an untimed (self-timed?) event.
Emphasis is on fun, participation, & giving your best effort, not competition.
How much?
Before August 3, 2008:
$25 1st kid per family,
$20 each additional kid.
(We remain the cheapest triathlon in Colorado)
Procrastinators (after Aug 3, but before Aug 13) add $5 per participant.
Registration closes Aug 13. No exceptions. Not even our friends. We can't make the waves work or order the schwag properly otherwise.
We encourage each racer-family to provide one race volunteer. You'll get to watch the race.
