SunRype TRi KiDS Triathlon Series
Countdown to Race Season!


Happy Spring! 
We've been receiving lots of emails from parents sharing the excitement of their children as they register and prepare for their TRi KiDS races this summer.  Once again we see familiar names; athletes who have raced with TRi KiDS for four, five, even six years and many new families; first time to triathlon and excited to join in on the fun.  We have always encouraged communication and want to ensure your family's TRi KiDS experience is a positive one.  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about any aspect of the race experience; from registration and orientations to picking up your gear after the race.

Here's to season 7 - we're ready to go. Be sure to say hello on race weekend!

Welcome Summer Fresh

 

We welcome Summer Fresh as a new Series Sponsor of the 2015 TRi KiDS season. 


 

Summer Fresh makes fresh hummus, dips, salads, and cooking sauces with real ingredients like you have at home. They have vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free options, and use NO added preservatives. Look for the Summer Fresh green lids in the refrigerated deli section, and visit www.summerfresh.com for great recipes.

 
Volunteer for TRi KiDS!

 

It's not too early to register to volunteer for one of the races. Each race requires 40 to 50 volunteers.  Please consider joining us this season. It truly is a rewarding experience.  A great way to obtain high school volunteer hours too.

 

Online registration can be found on our Volunteer page.  If you have any questions about volunteering please contact our Volunteer Manager Debra Bellamy.

 
Fundraising and TRi KiDS 

Fundraising has always been a big part of the SunRype TRi KiDS Triathlon Series and TRi KiDS have raised over $103,000 for our charitable partners in 6 years.  

This season TRi KiDS will once again partner with the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO), BC Childrens' Hospital and Autism Speaks Canada.

TRi KiDS athletes can fundraise for these charities by setting up an online fundraising page or printing off a pledge form and asking family and friends to sponsor your race. Athletes who raise a minimum of $40 for any of our three charities will be entered in the season-ending draw for one of two Springfree Trampolines.  Please visit our Charities page for information and links to get you started.

We will feature one of the charities in our newsletters and are pleased to share a bit about Autism Speaks Canada below.

 At Autism Speaks Canada, our mission is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. 

Autism Speaks Canada aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to our concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis. It is our firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

  

Team Up! with ASC and TRi KiDS. Click here to set up an online fundraising page and get started today.
 
Interactive TRi KiDS Race Maps

This season we are introducing a mobile friendly interactive course map for each location.  You'll find this map on each race page on our website.

The map will be very helpful on race day for parents and spectators as you move around to cheer on your athlete. Location of parking, washrooms and information are a few of the features. Hover over each icon and then click on it for details.
