Youth Triathlon 2026 — Woodbridge, VA

This isn't just a race, it's a challenge that will push your child to swim, run, and conquer obstacles they never thought possible. The Youth Triathlon is a one-of-a-kind event designed to build confidence, grit, and pure athletic joy. Every kid crosses that finish line a triathlete. THE CHALLENGE Three events. One epic day. Here's what's waiting for your athlete: Swim — Every participant hits the pool in a fully supervised swim with lifeguards on deck. Distances are tailored to each age group so every child competes at the right level. Obstacles — This is where things get exciting. After the swim athletes face a series of physical challenges; hurdles, jumping jacks, box jumps, burpees, tuck jumps, and more, scaled to match each age group's abilities. It's tough, it's fun, and it's unforgettable. Run — Lace up and go. Participants tackle a designated course built for their age group, short enough to be achievable, long enough to feel like a real accomplishment.
