Schultz Family Kids Triathlon

Our Founder & Mission:

Triathlete David Schultz founded the race in the summer of 2018 by putting on a mini-triathlon for his three children.  The kids loved the race so much that they talked about it all summer and begged it become an annual tradition.  Following Dave's passing in 2019, we have honored his legacy of promoting youth fitness, inclusion, a sense of accomplishment, community spirit, and joy with this event. 

Knowing this will be the first triathlon for many of the participants, we strive want to make it a great experience for all, regardless of ability level. Thanks to Newton Athletes Unlimited, the race has an adaptive division welcoming children and adults with disabilities.

Spectators:

This course is set up so family and friends can cheer the entire way.  For the swim, utilize the upstairs pool seating area.  After, exit by the front door of the school and watch your participant complete the bike loop on Tiger Drive.  Finally, head back through the school to access the track to watch your athlete complete the race.  Fans are welcome along every portion of the race, except the transition area.  This section will be only open to participants and volunteers once the race starts.
