Each year, the goal is to provide a fun and supportive environment for local youth to experience a low-key triathlon experience. The organization have made several changes to the course and age groups to improve everyone’s experience:

New Course! The pool swim and transition area have moved to Simpsonwood Retreat Center. This will provide a safer transition area away from the hill near the Peachtree Corners Swim and Racquet Club pool. The bike course will continue to loop on Jones Bridge Circle and the run course will remain in Simpsonwood Retreat Center. The finish and awards ceremony will be at the Peachtree Corners Swim and Racquet Club.

Juniors (6-8 years old): 50 yard swim (2 laps), 2 mile bike (1 loop), 0.5 mile run
