Kids format triathlons are specifically designed for young athletes. These non-competitive events emphasize fun, discovery and sports education across the three combined disciplines. The main objective is to have fun, create memories and take the first steps in the world of triathlon, in a fun and safe environment. Distances are very short and adapted to each age group. Rules are simplified to allow everyone to participate, regardless of their level. The atmosphere is festive and family-friendly, with parents cheering their children along the course. Animathlon and other kids' races are the perfect opportunity to get familiar with the race environment, such as the transition zone, without the pressure of performance. Events generally take place in a secure setting, such as a supervised body of water for swimming and a closed course for cycling and running. Organizers ensure the experience is positive and that children leave with a smile. Our kids' triathlon calendar offers the opportunity to find events suited to your young athletes. It's the perfect opportunity to introduce sports to your children, encourage them to be active and give them a taste for pushing their limits.
