The Swim for Smiles Foundation is excited to announce that registration is OPEN for its 3rd Annual Youth Triathlon to be held on May 31, 2009 in Chapel Hill, NC. Last years event drew over 350 participants and this years has been expanded to accommodate at least 450. Open to kids from ages 6-18, the Swim for Smiles Youth Triathlon is a USA-Triathlon sanctioned event and includes two courses for ALL levels of participants. In addition (new for 2009) we have a limited number of relay teams made up of kids of any and all ages. One kid will swim, another bike and the third will run the course (all relay participants and teams will do the Long Course).
Beginners can select a Short Course triathlon that includes a 100-meter swim, a 2.5-mile bike course and finishes with a short 1K (0.6miles) run. Long Course participants will begin with a 300-meter swim, transition to a 5-mile bike course and then finish with a 3K run (1.8miles). The Swim for Smiles Youth Triathlon will start on May 31st at Chapel Hill Country Clubs heated pool, move to a neighborhood bike ride and end with a run bordering the golf course. This is considered an easy triathlon and it designed for all levels of youth participants.
Every finisher receives a medal and the top three finishers of each age group will receive prizes!
