Clarien Congratulates Iron Kids Triathlon Winners
Clarien Bank Limited congratulated the winners of the 27th Annual Clarien Iron Kids Triathlon which was held on Saturday, June 20.
The Iron Kids Triathlon began in 1988 as a Gibbons Company event and was held at Shelly Bay Beach. Now hosted by Clarien at Clearwater, the event consists of a true swim, bike and run competition for junior triathletes, ages 7 – 15.
The event includes two competitive categories: 1] Ages 7 – 10, which consists of a 100 meter swim, 2.5 mile bike and 0.5 mile run; and 2] Ages 11 – 15, which consists of a 200 meter swim, 5 mile bike and 1 mile run. In addition, kids ages 3 – 6 also participate in a noncompetitive, abbreviated version of the course for fun, known as the Tiny Tots division, which consists of a 10 meter swim, 250 meter bike and 50 meter run.
