The BFIT Kids Triathlon race series provides opportunities for children to learn about triathlon and apply their skills in a controlled and supervised environment. There are ten races annually where kids are grouped by age and complete age appropriate distances of swimming, biking and running.
One Sunday a month the races are held from the Barbados Aquatic Centre, registration begins from 6:00 am and the racing starts at 7:00 am and we are normally finished by 9:00 am. The races are put on in a friendly and welcoming environment so as to encourage fair play and sportsmanship. The kids are encouraged to develop their skills and fitness whilst focusing on personal time goals. The main objective is for the kids to have fun!
Swim
The swim segment takes place across the length of the pool’s shallow end or in the training pool. Weak swimmers are permitted to “walk” the swim laps for safety and comfort.
Ride & Run
The ride and run segments occur on a paved loop around the pool and lawn tennis complex. The course includes a loop with a half-lap option around the pool complex. During races, the area is closed to vehicular traffic, ensuring a safe environment for all participants.
