    2023 Kids Triathlon Cancelled 

    The YMCA's Annual Kids Triathlon will be cancelled this summer 2023 due to the closure of the Nir Family YMCA's 6-Lane Pool for major renovations. We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause. 

    About the YMCA's Kids Triathlon

    The YMCA of Southeastern North Carolina's Kids Triathlon is a family-fun swim, bike and run event held at the Nir Family YMCA and in the Forest Hills neighborhood in Wilmington, NC. Boys and girls ages 3-13 are invited to join us for the ultimate race experience with full event production by Setup Events! All participants receive a finishers medal and t-shirt with awards given to the top 3 male and female in each age division.
