Pre-Race Informational Meeting
Join us the evening before the event (Friday, July 21st at 6:30pm at the North Park Pool) for a Pre-Race Information meeting where athletes can preview the course and parents can ask questions. The Pre-Race Info Meeting is not required but is recommeneded, particularly for first-time participants.
For over 20 years the Habitat Pittsburgh's Youth Triathlons have raised funds to support our Homeownership and Home Repair Programs for local, limited-income families. Athletes are encouraged to fundraise for Habitat Pittsburgh’s affordable homeownership and home repair programs. You can setup an easy, secure, online fundraising page in Spring 2023. The top fundraisers will be awarded a prize!
