David, The KITS site indicated there are training sessions for all registered participants to get them familiar with the race course. They stated that these training sessions will be held at Lochmere Swim & Tennis Club. I don't know where that is, but I don't think it is in Wilson. Will there be training sessions in Wilson and if so, where will they be held? If training sessions will not be held, can you let me know what street the bike ride will be on and where the run will be?
I have a granddaughter who is interested in participating, and I would like for her to become familiar with the areas so that she will be more comfortable on race day.

The Wilson Family YMCA is excited to announce a youth triathlon to be held on Saturday, August 21 at the Wilson Recreation Center. The triathlon is hosted in partnership with Kids In Training (KIT), an organization with a mission to encourage healthy fitness and nutrition habits for children and their families. This event is designed for any child, ages 5-17, regardless of athletic ability or prior triathlon experience. Each child will have the opportunity to swim, bike, and run distances appropriate for his age. The courses and distances are designed to be achievable for all youth athletes. The bike portion of this event is on streets, separated from automobile traffic and manned by police & adult volunteers. The philosophy behind the entire event is completion rather than competition. It is the hope that all young tri-athletes will leave the event with a sense of pride in knowing that they completed a triathlon. All finishers will receive an award and their bib number will be entered into a raffle filled with goodies. Age Group, Team Challenge and Relay awards will be presented at the end of the race. Results will be posted on the website later in the week.
