Kids love to swim, bike, and run!

The Healthy Habits Youth Triathlon Series was created as a way to introduce the sport of triathlon to kids in Maine. The goal of the Healthy Habits is to teach children that exercise is crucial for good health. Eating right and getting enough exercise are Healthy Habits we hope to instill in the children participating in this race series.

The race series is open to children who will be ages five through fifteen as of December 31, 2010. The races are open to all children regardless of their experience swimming, biking, and running.

Accomodations can be made for children with disabilities. Children participating in the race series in the 5 and 6 year old age divisions may use a flotation device (provided by the YMCA) for the swim.
