Fall Update

November 25, 2020/in Frontpage Article, Frontpage Update, Uncategorized, Updates

We hope you are well and staying active into the fall and winter. It has been a while since we have posted so here is an update. Positive vibes please!

We are optimistic for the return to TRi KiDS events in 2021, although with some necessary modifications to keep us all safe. Wearing masks, physical distancing and crowd size will be the key priorities. Of course, as things related to COVID19 change our plans will adapt and adjust accordingly. Some possible adaptations we are considering and preparing for include; reducing race capacities, staggered age group check in throughout the day, one athlete per lane in the swim, minimizing interaction with volunteers/crew, reducing the number of bikes in each row in transition and pre-packaged items only post race. It is our intention to host TRi KiDS events in 2021 in the same locations and weekends. Traditionally registration would open in January, however we will be postponing this until such time as we have all regional and municipal approvals to proceed. We estimate this to be in early spring.

As always, we are committed to providing the most positive, enjoyable, safe, athlete and family-oriented events possible.

We will provide another update in January.

This was the second year that our children have participated in the Burlington Triathlon and this year was another OUTSTANDING year. My husband and I have been so incredibly impressed with your events – the professionalism – the overall vibe of the events are so positive and encouraging…a huge thank you for running these events and encouraging athletes of all abilities to participate, have fun and succeed! You should feel really great about the work you do – it goes a long way to building confidence and esteem in many, many children. So again – a huge thanks – and a special shout-out to all the amazing volunteers too!

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for putting on such a wonderful event! We cannot say enough about our experience yesterday – it was so well organized! The highlight was to be able to cheer on and encourage not only our daughter, but all of the children who participated. It was very rewarding to see so many children out being active and to see the enthusiasm, pride, and the satisfaction of such an accomplishment on their faces (and those of parents). I will never forget the image of watching my daughter come across the finish line and the pride I felt! Thank you for bringing this event to BC!

This was our family’s first time participating in a triathlon but we’ve participated in many events of different varieties and I must tell you, this was such a marvelously run event I am simply in awe. Such attention to so many details to make everything run smoothly, and such terrific staff/volunteers to ensure every kid had a positive experience. Planning and organization, enthusiasm and good humour, all played a role in making the whole event enjoyable for participants and spectators alike.

Thanks for joining us for a wonderful 2022 season! More details about 2023 will be available in mid-December.
