IMPORTANT:

As we did last year, we are having one set of distances for the 6-8 and 9-10 age groups and another set of distances for the 11-12 and 13-15 age groups. Distances suggested by USA Triathlon (USAT) are below. Designing two course distances using the same routes is a challenge so we are not always able to get the numbers exactly where USAT suggests however we try to balance the overall effort/difficulty in the other disciplines.

NOTE: Please review the distances below before signing your child up. We strive for this to be a positive experience for all our participants. Our goal at every race is to have no "Did Not Finish" (DNFs). Please also review the course maps on this page once they are posted.

Riverside Gardens

Date:
July 28, 2024
Race Start:
9:00 AM
Age Groups:
6-15
Location:
8633 Buckboard Dr, Alexandria, VA 22308
Info:

The swim takes place in the Riverside Gardens 25 meter pool. The Riverside Gardens course may be the fastest and flattest course in our series. The bike course does have seven turns (one U-turn) per loop, so it is a bit more technical than the Stratford course. The run is an out and back on Buckboard sidewalk.
