About this Event
Join us for The Plex Youth Triathlon! Swim, bike, run, and enjoy a post-race celebration with vendor booths, raffle giveaways, and more. Fun for kids ages 4–13, plus a Family Fun Wave option!
Get ready for an exciting and memorable day at The Plex Athletic Club Youth Triathlon 2026. Designed for kids ages 4–13, this event offers a fun, supportive, and confidence-building race experience for athletes of all skill levels. Whether it’s their first triathlon or they’re returning, participants will complete a swim, bike, and run course tailored to their age group.
Each division features age-appropriate distances and structured wave starts, beginning at 8:00 AM for ages 11–13, with additional waves every 45 minutes. A group warm-up before each wave helps athletes feel prepared and ready to go.
Every participant will receive a race T-shirt (sizes available while supplies last), finisher medal, numbered bib, wristband, and race-day swag including sponsor goodies, hydration support, and pre/post-race snacks. Our team will be there every step of the way with fully staffed course support and hydration stations along the bike and run routes.
We’re also excited to offer a Family Fun Wave, where parents and kids can participate together in a more relaxed and shared race experience.
After the race, stick around to celebrate with raffle giveaways, vendor booths and activations, post-race snacks, and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
