YMCA Youth Triathlon : Lecanto, FL
The YMCA Youth Triathlon is held at the Citrus Memorial Health Foundation YMCA in Lecanto, Florida. The event is USA Triathlon sanctioned and offers age-based divisions and a separate non-competitive division.
Divisions and eligibility are listed by birth year: Junior Division (Born 2016-2021) and Senior Division (Born 2011-2015). A Tri4Fun division is also offered; it is open to any aged youth, adults or families, uses the Junior course, and is non-timed with no competitive awards.
Distances for the two course formats:
- Junior: 100 yard swim, 1.5 mile bike, 0.5 mile run
- Senior: 200 yard swim, 3 mile bike, 1 mile run
Packet pickup and bike check-in occur the day before the event, and there are athlete and parent course walking clinics. All participants receive an event T-shirt, a swim cap, a goodie bag and a medal. Trophies are awarded to the top three males and top three females in each age group for ages five through fifteen. The event venue includes pool swim laps and a wooded trail used for the run, with bike courses run on a simple out-and-back layout around the YMCA campus.
