For more than 20 years, The Woodlands Family YMCA has hosted the Annual Kids Triathlon. Due to the popularity of this race and the opening of the new Aquatic Center at the Holcomb Family YMCA in South Montgomery County, the event is now a summer triathlon series providing youth, ages 6 – 15, additional opportunities to experience the exciting sport of triathlon.

Swim+Bike+Run = FUN! Triathlons are an exciting sport for children because it involves three activities that every child enjoys – swimming, cycling and running.
