Montgomery Whitewater’s “Lil Tri” puts a fun spin on the traditional triathlon by challenging young athletes to run, bike, and PADDLE across the finish line. It consists of a 250-yard flatwater paddle, 700-yard bike ride, and 880-yard run. Montgomery Whitewater will provide all of the equipment needed for the flatwater paddle; however, athletes will need to bring their own bike and helmet. Kids ages 6-10 must have an adult in the ducky (inflatable kayak) for the water portion of the race. 11-year-olds may paddle on their own. Please note that this race is not timed, and no official winner will be announced. All participants will receive a race t-shirt (if registered by August 25th), medal, and tie-dye bandana.

Registration Opens: July 23, 2025 at 11:00am CDT
Labor Day 5K Price: $25
Labor Day Lil' Tri Triathlon Price: $20
