Description: Scoogie Events Kid’s Triathlon will be organized by Scoogie Events and will be staged on Saturday, August 25, 2018 to help raise funds for the Wissahickon Watershed Association and bring exposure to beautiful Penllyn Club while also providing a fun, non-competitive atmosphere for kid’s to enjoy swimming, biking and running in the outdoors. 

The Scoogie Events Kid's Triathlon will consist of various swim, bike and run distances depending on the age of the child racing. It will be a time trail start (meaning the kid’s will start the swim in a staggered manner depending on their age) and of course an awesome post-race festival with activities that kids will LOVE. 

Swim: The swim will be held in an outdoor pool with enough lifeguards to make sure that every child is safe. The distance will depend on the age of the child. See below. Please see map to the left.

Transition Area: There will be an area for the competitors to put their bikes, shoes, helmets, etc., called “the transition area”. After finishing the swim, the kids will come into the transition area to put on their biking gear, get their bikes and start the bike portion of the race. Please see map to the left. 

Bike Course: The distance will depend on the age of the child. See below and please see map to the left.

Run Course: The distance will depend on the age of the child. See below and please see map to the left. 

General Information: The most important factor will be the safety of the participants. The event will be altered or cancelled if it is deemed that for any reason the event is unsafe for the participants.
