USA Kids Tri #
USA Kids Tri is a grassroots youth program in select target markets that introduces youth to multisport and helps them live more healthy and active lifestyles. USA Triathlon Foundation and donor support help make these programs possible. Currently in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dallas and Phoenix markets, USA Kids Tri anticipates further nationwide growth in 2024.
Our goal is to give as many kids as possible access to this incredible sport that we all love. We want every kid to feel welcomed, supported, and part of a thriving community by tapping into programs, clubs, and race opportunities. It’s about more than competition—it’s about creating lifelong connections and empowering the next generation to experience the joy and benefits of multisport.
