CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield YMCA Youth Triathlon will be held at 8:30 a.m. May 16. It will start at the YMCA and end at Lower Witmer Park.
The race is for ages 8-14 years. It is an opportunity for children to participate in an athletic event, to meet new friends and to build self-confidence.
The race course and distances will be achievable for all athletes, promoting the philosophy of completion rather than competition.
The focus of this event is not on finish times, placing or rankings but on a sense of accomplishment. Each child will receive a medal for crossing the finish line.
Every registered child will receive a T-shirt and medal. A pre-registration fee of $20 is due to the YMCA by May 9. Participants can register after May 9 and on race day for $25.
