Race Course Description
 
  The FirmKids race begins with a 50 yard swim in Fort Pond. It is a time trial start for the swim with the children beginning one at a time with plenty of distance between swimmers. The swim is alongside a floating dock under the watchful eyes of swim volunteers who would quickly hand a noodle to any swimmer who wants one. (Of course, swim bubbles and life jackets are “legal” for this event).

After a quick transition, the racers hop on their bicycles, tricycles, and big wheels to hammer the one mile, very flat bike course. There will be strategically placed volunteers monitoring the bike course.

Then the participants complete a half mile run finishing their triathlon under the giant, inflatable FIRM finish line.

 
     
 
Other Information
 
  The emphasis of the FirmKids event is on fun. Each participant wears a number, but there is no timing. All participants receive a finisher's medal, a race shirt, and a goodie bag. Right after the event, there is food and live entertainment to celebrate the kids' accomplishment.
