Kids bike, run, slide in second Try-Athlon
The event was non-competitive with every child taking home a t-shirt and medal. During the event, local kids experienced a few aspects of a triathlon: running, biking and a water feature — in this case, a water slide — to clamber over and slide down to reach the finish line.
Before that, each child biked a certain distance — a half-mile for children ages 4 through 6 and a full mile for children ages 7 through 10.
Then the first age group (4-6) ran or walked one quarter-mile, and the 7- to 10-year-olds ran or walked a half-mile.
