Well here’s what your parents should know- The Kids Triathlon is held on an enclosed and highly visible course completely within New Town. Having everyone in sight will ensure you’ll find your way from start to finish. And your grandparents can watch you swim like a shark, bike like it’s a rocket and run faster than a cheetah. Just in case you need’em the course will be lined with lifeguards from Backyard Lifeguards for the swim, as well as plenty of bike and run marshals too.
