The NorCal Kids Triathlon will be held on August 27th this year to accommodate the many young people who want to compete in the popular three-event race. "The date has been moved to late August to minimize conflicts with other sporting and community events that happen on the weekends in September and October," said organizer Sue Severson. "We hope that the last Saturday in August will be the future permanent date-after swim season ends and school starts, and before Labor Day weekend and the soccer and MOL football games." Participants also indicated they preferred a morning event, according to Severson, so this year the triathlon will be conducted between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Participants, girls and boys through high school age, swim, bike and run the triathlon course as individual competitors or as part of a relay team. The course lengths are adjusted by age group. "We had over 300 participants the first two years, and there is room to grow," said Severson. For more information go to www.norcalkidstri.org, early registration ends June 15th. A. Firth
