Event Description

The 18th Annual Tri If You Dare is a great multi-sport race for both beginners and novice youth. This youth triathlon is a non-traditional trathlon as we go in reverse order and start the race with the run, followed by bike and finish with the swim. This ensures each child has adequate time to finish each stage of the course prior to the next heat starting.  The closed course is held on the Seminole Recreation Complex and the St. Petersburg College (SPC) Seminole Campus. You are able to see you child on all stages of the course.

Tri If You Dare was one of the first youth triathlons in the state. The mission is to expose children to the multisport field in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment. Every child will receive a finishers medal as well as the top three male and female in each age divison will receive trophies. Join us for another great year of Tri If You Dare!
