Mission

The guiding principle of the Silicon Valley Kid's Triathlon is two-fold.

1. To introduce the sport of triathlon to young people in our community in a safe environment; distances are short and intended simply to expose our youngest triathletes to the basic elements of triathlon and to counteract the negative effects of too much television and electronic activity and encourage young boys and girls, ages 4–15, to lead a healthy lifestyle and enjoy the benefits of outdoor activities (i.e., swimming, cycling and running).

2. Kids helping kids. With a charitable contribution of almost $100,000 to our youth charity, Silicon Valley Children’s Fund, we have a unique opportunity to raise awareness and encourage young people to give back to their community. Silicon Valley Children’s Fund, changing life outcomes for abused and neglected foster youth through educational initiatives.
