The Scootathlon RACE INFORMATION is now available in PDF form. Scroll down for the PDF link.
The Scootathlon is a mini fun triathlon for children between the ages of 4 and 8 where they scoot, bike and run. The event will be held on the Sunday of our races at Dorney Lake so it's a great way to introduce the kids to a bit of the fun of triathlon before or after you (the parents) do your bit.
Boys will race with Girls at the same time in various age categories (depending on numbers). The age categories are typically:
4 years, 5 years, 6 years, 7 years, 8 years
PLEASE NOTE: Your age is your age on the day of the race!
The race begins with a 390m 1 lap scoot (any scooter is suitable) then it's into transition, put down the scooter and pick up the bike and cycle the 390m lap. Then it's back into transition for the last time, leaving the bike next to the scooter and then out for the final 250m run to the finish gantry.
Scooting, cycling and running will always be in an anti-clockwise direction and all three disciplines must be done wearing a helmet.
All children taking part will get a race T-shirt and parents are asked not to get too excited...
The event will be held at the Olympic rowing venue for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Full on-site parking means you can come and go while the event is taking place, we have showers and toilets aplenty and there is catering and an on-site triathlon store provided by triandrun.
