Event for kids held at WashburnSaturday 8/1/09 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago	Karma: 0
There was a great event, a mini triathlon, held at Washburn University on Saturday, 8/1/09. I did not see any news about it ahead of time. I did not see anything on the mews Saturday night. Can anyone provide some information like the organizers, sponsors and if it will happen again?

We covered this at Positively Topeka Dot Com. It was on our Community Calendar and we wrote a news story about it.

The group is called KIDS GOTTA TRI. It is a not for profit organization, (501c3) that works to expose children to all the benefits of Health and Fitness. KGT was formed to introduce "life-time sports" to kids as a way to promote healthy lifestyle through education, training events and activities.

What you saw was the first Youth Tirathlon for youth between the ages of 7-14 at Washburn University. The Tirathlon featured running, swimming and biking. Distances wereage specific.

Every participant received a medal for completing the event. IRONMEN received an additional prize. 1st - 2nd - 3rd Place individual prizes were awarded to each age group.
