How the Series Works
Overview
This race is part of the 2025 NorCal Youth State Series and the 2025 Bay Area Kids Triathlon Series
We re-started the Bay Area Kids Triathlon Series last year to encourage local youth to participate more in endurance sports and to help local charities. USA Triathlon launched its Youth State Series last year to encourage youth and junior athletes to participate in events locally and increase the opportunities for them to race more often alongside their peers. There are several great youth triathlons in our area with the opportunity for our next generation of triathletes to experience many of them as part of these series.
2025 Bay Area Kids Triathlon Series consists of the following events:
Menlo Park Kids Triathlon - June 1st
East Bay Kids Triathlon - July 13th
Tri Santa Cruz - Aug 10th (SuperSprint only. Swim in the ocean)
Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon - August 17th
Scoring Model
Each race, no matter the multisport format, will give you the opportunity to add to your score. The 1st place athlete in each age group will receive 50 points, and each place behind that will receive 2 points less. Everyone placing in places past 25th will receive 2 points.
Individual Age Groups
Series scoring will be done by single age age groups (7-year-old females, 7-year-old males, 8-year-old females, 8-year-old males, etc). Your age is calculated as your age in 12/31/2025.
Bay Area Kids Triathlon Series Awards
For every athlete doing two or more events, the top 2 scores for each individual will count towards their series score. They will be added together and the top three racers in each age group will get an award. The award ceremony will take place at the Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon.
NorCal Youth State Series Awards
Since there are more events in the State Series, the top 4 scores for each individual will count towards their series score. These 4 scores will be added together to create a cumulative score for the series.
All events will count regardless of format.
At the end of the series, the top 3 athletes in each individual age will earn a series certificate from USA Triathlon. The winners of each age will also be highlighted in the USA Triathlon Youth Magazine.
