Event Description

Portland’s first multisport race for children, The Portland Kids Duathlon, is presented by Benchmark Real Estate. The race gives young people ages 3-12 an opportunity to participate in the fast-growing world of multi-sport racing. The run, bike, run format of a duathlon is fun and approachable, a great race for non-swimmers and triathletes alike. All young duathletes will finish the race with a smile on their face, a medal around their neck, and a boost of self-confidence and pride. All profits from this race will be donated to the Foundation for Portland Public Schools. 

This exciting community event includes three waves, a bike only event for 3-5 year-olds, a short bike/run for 5-8 year olds and longer run/bike/run for 8-12 year-olds. *Parents of 8-year-olds, please register your child in the wave you think they will be most comfortable. The 3-5 year olds will bike .8 mile. The 5-8 year olds will bike 1 mile and run 1/3 mile. The 8-12 year olds will run 1 mile, bike 3 miles and then run 1/2 mile. See www.portlandkidsduathlon.com for full race course details. All participants get a shirt, medal, swag bag, and a chance to win a brand new bike. 

This year, we're excited to announce that our race is sanctioned by USA Triathlon (USAT). The USAT Foundation has offered free annual youth digital memberships to all our participants for 2020. USAT will send details on benefits and how to access your child's membership account at the email used to register for our race. Learn more at the USAT youth website.
