*Age is defined as the child's age on 12/31/2009, per USATriathlon Guidelines
The event is open to the first 275 registrants – sign up early as we expect the event to fill quickly -- it sells out every year! We are planning a big finish line party with fun and entertainment for the whole family!
Online registration will be available at:
http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?EVENT_ID=1676516 starting on February 1, 2009 (visit this site for updates).
Cost is $25.00 until May 17th, $30.00 from May 18th through June 5th. A current USA Triathlon membership is required (additional $5). If you raced last year, your membership is probably NOT still valid for this year's race and you will need to renew. There will be no on-site registration on the day of the event.
Every finisher will receive a t-shirt, medal, and special goodie bag. Awards will be given out to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group!
The race will take place in waves with the oldest athletes starting first. Approximately 12 athletes per wave with roughly 5 minute intervals between waves.
Children will have the opportunity to raise funds to support The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Please visit our fundraising page for details. Awards will be given out to our top fundraisers!
This event will be USATriathlon-sanctioned. Athletes must have a one-year USAT membership ($5 added to your registration fee if you do not have a current membership). Learn more at: www.usatriathlon.com 
Our team's goal is to create a safe, motivating, and fun race for children that will reinforce the importance of being active, staying fit, and supporting the community (through fundraising for The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia®).
Please support our generous sponsors!
