About the Race

The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (also lovingly referred to as the "Kids Tri" or "SVKT") is one of the country's largest Triathlons specifically for Kids age 4-15. This year, there will be 850 kids participating in the event. 

In case you're wondering, a triathlon is a race that consists of three main events: Swimming, Cycling, and Running (in that order).  Kids start the race with the swimming event at the De Anza College pool in waves of between about 25 to 45 other kids.  From the swim, they'll run to the transition area put on their helmets and shoes (and anything else they need).  They'll then  mount their bikes head out to the bike course on the De Anza College campus roads (Note that the bike course will be closed to all vehicular traffic).  When the kids are done with the bike, they'll head back to transition to put their bike away, then head to the run on the De Anza College Track.  They'll finish the course on the infield of the track.
