Kids triathlons are designed specifically for young athletes. These non-competitive events focus on fun, discovery, and sports education of the three disciplines in a row. The main objective is to have fun, create memories, and take their first steps in the world of triathlon, in a fun and safe environment. The distances are very short and adapted to each age category.

The events generally take place in a secure setting, such as a supervised body of water for swimming and a course closed to traffic for cycling and running. The organizers ensure that the experience is positive and that the children leave with a smile. Our calendar of triathlons for children offers you the possibility of finding events adapted to your young athletes.
