The Smiths are Winners cuz they TRI harder!!
Emily (9) and Ben (7) Smith recently TRI-ed their best while participating in the Oregon Kids triathlon in Oregon, WI. Mom and Dad cheered them on while they swam, biked and ran their hearts out! This super-fun event is hosted by the Oregon Community Swim Club, and is just for kids ages 5-17.

Plus, kids absolutely LOOOOVE getting their race numbers written in PERMANENT marker on their arm & leg! Fun stuff! More and more adult triathlons are now offering a kids distance either before or after the grown-up race. It’s good, clean fun in an unbelievably positive and supportive environment.
