This proven, hands-on clinic is offered for free, and it will prepare kids to participate in the 2014 New England Kids Triathlon.
The program is designed for kids who have never done a triathlon.
Whether your child is already very active or is looking for a new sport to embrace, triathlon might be the answer.
The variety of swimming, biking and running is appealing to kids, and it helps avoid overuse injuries and burnout.

Triathletes embrace a healthy active lifestyle focused on daily exercise, good nutrition and having fun with friends and family.
We encourage you to give it a tri!
