The Morris Township Department of Parks and Recreation will host its annual Tri-Harder Kids Triathlon event for children ages 4 to 15 (if not in high school) on Saturday, July 13, 2013 at Ginty Pool. The event is designed to get children up and moving with healthy physical activity, training, and enjoyment.
It features the typical swim-bike-run format of a traditional triathlon, with distances appropriate for five age groups: 4 to 6, 7 to 8, 9 to 10, 11 to 12, and 13 to 15. This event will feature age-appropriate swimming at Ginty Pool, a bicycling route through local neighborhoods, and distance runs at Ginty Field.
The focus of this Triathlon is on participation rather than competition; all participants will receive participation ribbons and only unofficial results are posted.
The events begin at 8:30 AM with check-in at 7:30 AM at the pool. All participants must pre-register; registration closes on July 11th at 5:00 PM. The cost is $10.00 per participant and the Triathlon is open to all regional area children. Participants must bring their own bicycles and bicycle helmets.
