Description

The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (“SVKT”) is one of the country’s largest triathlons specifically for kids aged FOUR through SEVENTEEN.

Triathlon
There are three triathlon events to choose from. The traditional Kids Tri is for kids aged 4 to 15, where kids can choose between competitive and non-competitive levels. The Super-Sprint is for kids 11 to 17. Kids 11 - 15 can choose the shorter distances of the traditional event or the longer distances of the Super-Sprint.

Duathlon
A duathlon is a run-bike-run. Kids will run from the start area to transition, then complete the same bike and run courses with the same distances as those doing the full triathlon.

7 & Under Non - Competitive event
ONE Parent (or other adult) is allowed to accompany their child aged 7 & under in non-competitive event throughout the entire race including accompanying them at (not in) the pool and running beside them on the bike and run. Because this age is getting help from their parent and because of their developmental stage, they will not be timed nor ranked.

Transition
Parents of children aged 6 to 10 in competitive events may come into transition to help setup and tear down their kid's spot. Children aged 11 and up are developmentally ready to race on their own!

Distance By Age

Event distances are based on the age of the athlete as of Dec 31, 2025:

Bay Area Kids Triathlon Series

Mission: To introduce the sport of triathlon to young people in our community in a safe and fun environment. Distances are short and intended to expose our youngest triathletes to the basic elements of triathlon. We also hope to counteract the negative effects of too much television and electronic activity, and encourage young boys and girls, ages 4 up to 17, to lead a healthy lifestyle and to enjoy the benefits of outdoor activities.

USAT Membership

A USAT membership is required for this race. USAT is the governing body for Triathlons in the United States. They establish the rules we follow and provide the insurance for our event.

What is "Triathlon Age"?

In order to keep participant ages consistent at multiple races throughout the year, USAT considers your age to be your age on December 31st of the current year. For example, a person who will be turning 8 years old anytime during the year is considered 8 years old for the entire year (even if their birthday has not passed yet.

USAT Rules

More USAT rules are HERE. Not all of them apply to Youth events. If a rule is different there, the rules here supersede the ones on the USAT website.

Inclusion and Accommodations

The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon is an inclusive race. All USAT-sanctioned events allow athletes to compete in the gender category they identify with. If that choice is different from their assigned sex at birth, pre-registration of their gender category is required. If you are unsure of how to do this, do not hesitate to contact us at racedirector@svkidstri.org and we will walk you through the process.

If an athlete has other special needs, contact us at least one (1) month before the race and we will work together to come up with a race plan that takes their needs into account.

Scholarships

The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon has a limited number of scholarships available. They are available to youth whose household income is under $85,000 (based on Bay Area AGI). To request a scholarship, please fill out the form at this url:
