What is the Swim for Smiles Youth Triathlon?: This is a USA-T (USA-Triathlon) sanctioned event that allows kids from ages 6-18 to participate in a fun, simple, youth-focused event that will get your kids interested in the sport of triathlons. We have both a short course and a long course so that all ages and abilities can participate.
What is the distance?: We have two courses: *Short Course: Mostly aimed at kids 14 & Under, the short course allows kids to participate in distances that anyone can accomplish. It starts with a 100-meter swim, then moves to a 2.5-mile bike (with all right turns) and finishes with an out-and-back 1k (0.6 mile) run. *Long Course: Aimed at kids of all ages (although, those 8 & under should not attempt the long course on their first triathlon try), the long course is more challenging than the short course, but still fun and quick. It starts with a 300-meter swim, then moves to a 5-mile bike (with all right turns) and finishes with an out-and-back 3k (1.8 mile) run.
What should we bring?: At the top of this page, you will see a link (URL) to document (called "2010 Race Packet Here") that we have written that will answer this question and probably 90% of the other questions you may have. Please click on that link and then print out that document and read it WITH your kids - it includes race course maps, information about setting up your bike, how the swim line-up works and all about the prizes and medals the participants will receive).
Where does the money go?: We donate our money to the North Carolina Children's Hospital
