On the Monday prior to TRi KiDS Burlington a “RACE WEEKEND GUIDE” will be sent to all registered participants. The Guide covers final details for race weekend and includes parking suggestions, set-up times, course information, race kit pick up instructions….and much more. The Guide is sent to the email address provided at registration and it will also be posted on our home page under the News section. Please review the Guide as it contains very important information. We post all information related to the events on the website, Facebook and Twitter and keep it up to date. We also recommend checking our FAQ page and the Rules for Safety page. We are confident your questions will be answered with these resources. Date: Saturday, June 10th Location: Nelson Park Arena, 4235 New Street, Burlington Time: 11:30am – 2:00pm We encourage all athletes to pick up their race kits on Saturday and attend an orientation session.

Above is the distance chart for TRi KiDS Burlington. Please note that distances may change if necessary and age group distances will vary at each race venue. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer the 14-15 age group at Burlington due to facility constraints. The swim takes place in the 50 meter outdoor Nelson Pool. Lifeguards will be on deck at all times. Special Policies for 6-7 Year Olds in the Burlington Event All athletes in the 6-7 age group will be required to wear a CSA-certified life jacket. You will be permitted to bring your own or the City will provide one to you. Special Policies for 8-9 & 10-11 Year Olds in the Burlington Event All athletes in the 8-9 and 10-11 age groups will be required to complete a 25m swim test in advance of their race. A set time will be allocated before the event begins to allow any interested athletes the opportunity to complete the swim. This may require you to arrive at the race site earlier than normal. More details will be available on this event page soon and in email communications to athletes. If an athlete chooses not to complete the swim test during the allocated period or fails the swim test, they will be required to wear a CSA-certified life jacket (provided by the City or you) during the swim portion of the event. We are unable to provide exceptions to either of the above policies as they are mandated by the City of Burlington. The bike course is a 1 km loop on a vehicle free road within the park. The road is paved and flat. Older age groups will do multiple loops to complete their respective distance. The run course takes athletes around the perimeter of the soccer field. The run is a 500 meter ‘track’ entirely on grass. Athletes will complete the required number of laps to achieve their respective distance. There will be one water station set up for all age groups. The older age groups will pass the water station several times. In order to avoid disappointment on race day we recommend that you take your bike in for a pre-race safety inspection the week before the race. Technical problems can easily be avoided. Check helmets for proper fit. Please be sure to pick up ALL belongings after the race. Lost and found items are gathered and left at the race site. The organizers are not responsible for items left at the race site. Finishing times will be posted on this link within hours of race completion.
