CONWAY — Registration is open for the 15th annual First Security Conway Kids’ Triathlon, with about 250 kids signed up so far.
Youth ages 6 to 15 can still register online at www.conwaykidstri.com or in person on Aug. 3 at the University of Central Arkansas, as long as spots are still available.
The triathlon will be held Aug. 4 at UCA. The event is one of the country’s premier youth triathlons for all kids, not just kids who participate in triathlons.
The Conway Kids’ Triathlon is an event for all abilities.
Children ages 6 to 10 will complete a 50-yard swim, a two-mile bike ride and a halfmile run.
Youth ages 11 to 15 will complete a 100-yard swim, a four-mile bike ride and a one-mile run.
Many kids participating in the event are experienced at triathlons and are working to improve their finish times and place.
For others, the event will be their first triathlon, and they are working to finish the race and accomplish personal goals.
Kids can participate individually in the event or as a team.
