Kid's in Training Triathlon

RMEC, I need your help! Patti Miller has been working closely with Kid's in Training to create a new event in our area. I am thrilled to announce that it is now in place! On June 27th, Nash Rec Pool will host the first ever Kid's Triathlon in the our area!

• When: Saturday, June 27, 2009
• Where: Nash Recreation Club, Nashville, NC (5 minutes from Rocky Mount)
• Time: 8:30 am - Packet pickup and bike setup starts at 7:00 am and ends at 8:00 am.
• Child Cost: $35 - Kids *$10 Late fee begins after May 27*

There are also relay options and beginner adult options. The registration fee includes Training Sessions, a KIT Race Souvenir, and all Finishers receive an Award! Kids must be USAT members to participate in the event. It takes just a few minutes to sign up and costs only $5 for the year.

Age. . Swim . . / Bike. . / Run
5-7. . 50 yds . / 1.45 mi / 0.5 mi
8-10 . 100 yds. / 2.90 mi / 1.0 mi
11-17. 150 yds. / 4.35 mi / 1.5 mi

Guys, this is a big opportunity for our community. Events like this normally only hit cities like Raleigh, Cary, Charlotte, etc. Nash and Edgecombe counties are the two most obese counties in North Carolina. WE NEED EVENTS LIKE THIS.

Don't wait to sign to sign up. Sit down with your kids tonight at the computer, and let them watch you do the registration. Start training with them. Take a few days a week to run or bike with them. Bring them out to a RMEK training session. Get them excited!

Spread the word about this event. Because of the nature of the race, and the size of the pool, the race will eventually hit a cap. If people plan to participate, they need to sign up early, or risk missing out completely. Bring out the entire family and have a blast!
