One of the most popular kids and young adult races in the tri-state area, the Westchester Kids Triathlon is open to kids from ages 7-14. The race takes place at a national landmark, Rye Playland. There are great spectator views of the entire race, which is designed for kids on a completely contained course away from main roads and car traffic. The Westchester Meek and Mighty Triathlon is a great entry race for teenagers, young adults, and race beginners. Get your feet wet with a great race that is fun safe and will be a great experience!
Kids and Meek & Mighty race highlights include:
Swim: Kids swim in shallow water, no deeper than their shoulders. Kids can walk if needed. For extra safety in the water, the swim will be lined with lifeguards and adults.
Bike: The bike course will be longer this year with fewer laps. The entire bike course is on private Playland property with no public traffic.
Run: The run is entirely within the Playland Park area. There is no hard pavement to run on and no vehicle traffic.
