UPDATE TRi KiDS Niagara

June 22, 2016/in Frontpage Article, Updates

Ridley College has recently informed us that they are no longer permitted to privately rent the campus pool. This directive came to them from the Niagara Region Health Department with very little advance notice. Our search for an alternate venue in the Niagara region was not successful as we were unable to find a venue that meets our requirements for a safe and positive TRi KiDS experience. Although there are suitable sites the challenge is finding an available date on or close to August 21st. It goes without saying that we are very disappointed the pool is not available to us.

TRi KiDS Niagara 2016 will now be a Duathlon: Run, Bike, Run. After a very successful Duathlon in Burlington this past weekend we are confident that the energy and excitement will carry over to Niagara.

All registered athletes in TRi KiDS Niagara were sent a notice by email on Tuesday (yesterday). Read the full post here.

We are no longer accepting requests for refunds – this deadline has passed. The transfer policy set out for all races – see the registration page – is still in effect for TRi KiDS Niagara.

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.

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 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!
