We are so excited for the 9th Annual Ada County Kids’ Duathlon on Saturday, September 13th, now known as the Tobin Bolter Memorial Kids’ Duathlon. We have some really fun things lined up for your kids and can’t wait for the big day. Below you will find some important event logistics and a map of the event, including the courses for each age group.
PARKING
You can park in either the North or South parking lots, just be aware that the North parking lot will not be accessible during the races. We will have volunteers there ensuring that our participants are safe crossing the street. If you plan on attending the entirety of the event, you shouldn’t have any issues, but just heads up. You can also utilize the street as overflow parking.
When you arrive, place your participant(s)’ bikes in the designated bike corral along the race route in the south parking lot. When they are done with their race, they will park them on the basketball court near the finish line.
RACE RULES
All participants must wear a helmet any time they are on a bicycle. Each participant will receive a bib with timing chips attached in their race packet at packet pickup. When you arrive at the event, it is imperative that you instruct your children not to cross the start or finish line outside of their race, as it will mess up their time and alter the results. Keep in mind that these courses are happening on trails – there is not a lot of extra room for passing or for parents to be close by. We do have designated spectator viewing areas, and will also have volunteers placed along the route to ensure their safety. For parents of our 3 year old competitors, who will mostly be on asphalt and will only do the running portion on the trail, if your child needs you to run the race with them for moral support, you are welcome to do that!
Please keep an eye out for more information to come via email!
