• Description: The Mini is a short course designed for people who would like to try a triathlon but do not feel prepared to tackle the Sprint distance. There are no age limits on the Mini although the vast majority of participants are under the age of 13. The Mini is scheduled to start and finish before the Sprint so that parents participating in the Sprint distance can watch their children finish the Mini before beginning their own event. The Mini Swim will take place in the lake near the shore in water no deeper than 5 feet. Smaller athletes are permitted to swim closer to shore and in water no deeper than their chest. The Mini course has a fenced-off transition area separate from the other two events. The Mini Run course is a 1 km run around the outside of the park and finishes at the same finish line as the longer events. This event is conventionally timed (not chip timed). Mini participants will receive an event t-shirt for completing the event if they register in advance (10 days or more before race day).
