These young triathletes are suited up and ready for the swimming portion of last year’s competition.
Athletes between the ages of 4 and 14 are invited to participate in the 11th annual NorCal Kids Triathlon to be held Aug. 17 beginning at 9 a.m. at Miramonte High School.
Organized and hosted by the Orinda Community Foundation (OCF) with the goal of encouraging exercise in a fun environment, the event is a sprint distance triathlon offering participants the chance to go for their personal best in running, swimming and cycling. The courses vary according to age group, but each is managed and timed by a team of experienced volunteers from OCF partners such as Orinda Aquatics and the Miramonte track team.
Participants receive a memorial medal, with the top three in each division receiving trophies. The cost to pre-register is $45 with online registration closing at midnight Aug.14. Same-day registration is $50.
