We're back for another season of creating young triathletes and encouraging family fitness. The Life Time Fitness Kids Triathlon Series will offer four events between June and October in Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago and San Antonio.
With childhood obesity reaching epidemic proportions it is more important than ever to encourage a healthy way of life for our children. The Kids Triathlon Series is an opportunity for the entire family to get outside and be active. Mom and Dad cannot sit in their folding chairs on the sideline and watch the practice for this event. Bike with your kids. Run with your kids - even it's just around the block. And teach your child to swim - it is a life-long skill. If you, as a parent, cannot swim, learn with your child. Quality family time is hard to find so take some time off from the carpooling and sideline-viewing and make it a summer of FAMILY sports activities. Leave the car keys on the counter and strap on your bike helmets!
Work together and share in the success at the finish line!

Race Photos
Professional race photos will be provided by ASI Photography and will be available after each event online.
SWIM
The swim will take place at either the indoor or outdoor Life Time Fitness lap pool. Athletes will start in the water - no dive starts allowed. Waves of 10 athletes will start every 3-4 minutes with 2 swimmers in each of the 5 lanes. Swimmers will start at the same end, at the same time. A race program will be provided showing wave numbers and start times for all athletes. Check your individual event webpage to find out the start order by age for your location.
BIKE
Athletes will enter the transition area from the swim and prepare for the bike leg. Bikes will be staged in the T-area in marked rows so participants can easily locate their bike. You will receive a helmet number sticker that must be applied to the front of each bike helmet. Helmets must be put on AND BUCKLED before the athletes grab their bike. Bikes must be WALKED in the transition area and volunteers will let the riders know when they may get on and begin riding.
RUN
After the bike segment, athletes must return their bikes to the SAME location in the transition area. Bike helmets should be removed and volunteers will help direct athletes to the RUN OUT path to begin the last leg of the race. A water station will be available for the athletes as they exit the T-area. All runners must display their race number on the FRONT of their body - either pinned to their shirt, shorts or attached to a race belt.
