Welcome to the Trinona Kids Triathlon

Trinona Kids is a USAT-sanctioned event that's the perfect intro to the world of triathlons for ages 6 to 15.

Each triathlete will swim in the Winona YMCA's pool, then bike and run on beautiful Lake Winona's paved multi-use path under the iconic Sugarloaf Bluff. 

Bring the entire family for an awesome morning of fun, low-key athletic competition, along with a great post-race awards gathering, and lots more!

Race age groups and distances are based on the participant's age on December 31, 2025. For example, if your child turns 11 on November 13, 2025, you should register them for the 11-12 age group. 

Swim

The triathlon begins with an organized swim in Winona's Family YMCA pool. Distances vary by age and each swimmer is assigned their own lane. Wave starts to help keep things organized and safe. 

Bike

After exiting the pool through the family locker room, children will be guided directly to the Transition 1 area, located behind the YMCA. Athletes will put on their helmets and shoes, before grabbing their bikes. Once on the course, they will ride an out-and-back loop along the north side of Lake Winona. Volunteers will help with directions as the young racers make their way back to the Transition 2 area in Unity Park after completing their designated distance.

Run

After parking their bikes in Transition 2, the athletes will head out onto the run course doing an out-and-back loop along the south side of Lake Winona. Athletes will race their way toward the finish line after reaching the turnaround for their designated distance.

Volunteers, refreshments, and a finisher medal will greet each and every athlete when they complete their triathlon. 

Post-race Awards Gathering!

All finishers receive a finisher medal, event t-shirt, and other giveaways. Stick around for the post-race awards and snacks!

Age group awards will be given out for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
