Henley Kids Triathlon
Event Details
Venue: Henley Leisure Centre, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 1PS
The Event
The Henley Kids Triathlon offers children a valuable opportunity to enjoy a non-competitive triathlon in a welcoming and fun environment, whilst raising funds equally for school projects/charities and a charity of their choice.
Participants will take on the challenge of completing the achievable swim, cycle and run distances, along an enclosed, well-planned and safe, marshalled course.
The Henley Kids Triathlon will not only raise money for great causes but will also encourage children to be more active and healthier. The thrill of completing the triathlon and receiving the finisher’s medal on the stage will make for a memorable lifetime experience for all!
Achievable distances for all abilities of 5-16 year olds, regardless of ability
