Kids Triathlon
The world of junior triathlon for children is becoming hugely popular all over the globe, starting at age 7/8 years old with kids competing in a non-stop swim, cycle and run. These kids triathlon events are highly achievable for children and are organised in a safe environment yet allowing children the freedom to experience this fantastic event.
A kids triathlon event is a great way of getting children of all ages to get active and healthy by taking part in this three sport discipline that will become a big part of their lives. With this in mind many triathlon, swim and sporting brands have designed kids triathlon wear in kids sizes for a more comfortable and competitive races including brands such as Blueseventy, Huub and Zone 3. Equipment needed for these events includes a wetsuit for lake swims, which are not compulsory for all swims dependant on the temperature, triwear for underneath the wetsuit worn throughout all sports, a bike, bike helmet, trainers and goggles.
