Our aim is to encourage thousands of children to enjoy and take part in the sport of triathlon. With our fun training ideas and specially designed courses. What does safe environment mean? The whole race takes place within the confined space of the event arena, meaning the children are on site at all times. They do not cycle on the roads or run outside of the venue, both the cycle and run courses are on grass ,off-road and are multi lapped so you can watch your child at all times.
