We are deeply sorry to report that we have had to cancel the Kids Triathlon for this year. We were unable to rent a facility for the event due to Covid. While technically our event met all state requirements and could have been held safely, all the facilities suitable to such an event were not accepting reservations for an event of our size at the time we would have had to nail down a date for the event. Therefore, we had no choice but to cancel. We fully expect to be able to hold this year next year in 2022.
Because it's been two years since this event has taken place, we do not feel comfortable deferring people's registration to a third year. Deferring is also complicated by the fact that many of our registrants will be too old to race in 2022. Therefore, we will be offering refunds to anyone who wishes them. If you have not received a notification and an option to get a refund or donate your fee to the race by October 15th, please email racedirector@svkidstri.org.
Thanks for your understanding and we will be back next year better and stronger (and safer) than ever!
The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (“SVKT”) is one of the country’s largest triathlons specifically for kids age 15 and under.
A triathlon is a race that consists of a combination of three sports: swimming, cycling, and running. The kids start the race swimming at the De Anza College pool in "waves" (triathlon speak for groups) of 25 to 50 kids. From the swim, they run to the transition area to put on their helmets, shoes, and anything else they need. Then they mount their bikes and head out to the bike course on roads closed to traffic and inside the De Anza College campus. When the kids are done with the bike, they head back to transition to put their bike away, and head out to run around the De Anza Track. They finish the race on the track by crossing through the finishing chute right into the event expo to celebrate their great accomplishment!
Event distances are based on the age of the athlete:
6 & under: 25-yard swim; 1-mile bike; 600-yard run
7-8 years: 50-yard swim; 2-mile bike; 1,000-yard run
