Get Healthy Texas Kids Triathlon
Sept 24th, 2011
What started out as a single Halloween sprint event in Keller, TX helped bring to life another GREAT kids and family triathlon!
Get ready for the CBS 11′s Get Healthy Texas Kids and Family Triathlon, a part of Rock the Park celebration in Keller, TX!
Kids ages 4-13 will swim in the Keller Natatorium, bike on (closed) Bear Creek Parkway and run on the beautiful Keller trails. This is all about health and fitness for your children, and to benefit the Keller ISD athletic fund.
On-line registration closed Tuesday, September 20. You may register at any packet pick-up session. Time and locations for packet pick-up are listed in the FAQ’S.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’s)
Does my child need a helmet?
All cyclists MUST wear helmets.
Which group/wave goes first?
Leap frogs are the first to take the plunge followed by Road Runners and Gladiators.
What is “Packet Pick-Up”
Packet Pick-Up is where you’ll receive race day information (race number, shirt, etc.) There is NO RACE DAY PACKET PICK-UP! You may pick your packet up for other kids or have someone pick up your packet. The child does not need to come to packet pick-up.
Here are the three packet pick-up options for you.

Are parents allowed on the course to help the child?
ONE parent is allowed in transition while the child transitions from swim to bike & bike to run. Parents are allowed in transition to help the child set-up.
NOTE: Parents are also allowed to do the run portion of the event with their big time triathlete child!
What if we have a bike problem (flat tire, bad chain, etc.) on race day?
Knobbies and Slicks Bike Shop will be on-hand to help.
What else should I be asking?
Now that is a good question. Rather than have you read for the next few hours, we’ve added a MANDATORY parents and child meeting at the race site at 7:40 a.m. on race day. In a nutshell, don’t stress. Simply show up with a swimsuit, bike & helmet and some running shoes. We will take it from there.
