Palm Harbor YMCA Holds Kids Tri for Freedom

From YMCA of the Suncoast:

Palm Harbor, FL-- The Greater Palm Harbor YMCA will proudly host its 9th Annual Kids Triathlon "Swim, Bike, Run for Freedom" on Sunday, September 11. The event will begin with opening ceremonies at 7:30 a.m. that are dedicated to all members of the military, veterans, first responders and especially to

those heroes who perished on September 11, 2001.

This youth triathlon event is presented by Florida Hospital North Pinellas. It's a great opportunity for any child between the ages of 5 and 15 to become an official triathlete for the day! The distances for the event are:
* Ages 5-6, 25 yard swim, 1 mile bike and 1/4 mile run
* Ages 7-10, 100 yard swim, 2 mile bike and 1/2 mile run
* Ages 11-15, 200 yard swim, 4 mile bike and 1 mile run

The Greater Palm Harbor YMCA partners with the Palm Harbor Tri-Warriors Triathlon club to stage the event. It's a great way for the Y and the club to introduce kids to the sport.

The triathlon is a USAT sanctioned event. Proof of USAT membership is required. Participants do not have to be members of the Y for the triathlon or the training.
