FREE Kids Triathlon Clinic at Watertown Boys and Girls Club

Got kids?  Why not give them the opportunity to learn how to become a triathlete!  New England Kids Triathlon strives to increase childhood fitness (and fun!) through the sport of triathlon.  This year, our event takes place on July 20, 2014 at MIT in Cambridge, MA.  The event is geared towards children age 6 to 15 and features a closed bike/run course, a pool swim with a lifeguard, and medals for everyone at the end.

We are proud to announce that in advance of our event, we will be hosting FREE kids triathlon clinics in partnership with fitness facilities and community centers throughout the area.  We want to show kids that yes, they CAN complete a triathlon!

Please consider joining us for this local FREE kids triathlon clinic:

Friday, June 13th from 5-8pm
Watertown Boys and Girls Club
25 Whites Ave - Watertown, MA 02472

To register call 617-926-0968
Pre-registration is required, as clinics may fill to capacity!

Here are the details:

WHO: The program is open to all kids ages 6 to 15. You or your child does not have to be a member of these facilities to attend – they are open to the public.  Participants should have basic swimming abilities and their own bike and helmet. While the training clinics are free, there is a registration fee for the actual race in July.

WHAT: This training clinic lasts 3 hours and is organized into six 30-minute sessions. The focus of the program is more educational than hard-core training though every participant will have the opportunity to swim, bike, run and practice transitions. The goal is for every child to be ready to complete the New England Kids Triathlon by the end of the clinic.

WHY: It is free. It is cool. It is taught by professionals. And, it is a great way to show kids that being healthy  and active can be a ton of fun.

If you know of children in other areas of Massachusetts, consider referring them to one of our other FREE kids triathlon clinics taking place throughout the month of June.
