This Saturday (August 19) from 1pm, children between the ages of five and 16 will get the chance to have a go at a triathlon at York Sport.
The Kids triathlon is being held the same weekend as the adults one and both are being held at the Lakeside Way venue as part of a series organised by UK Triathlon.
Richard Orr, business manager at York Sport said: “The event originally started as an adult event for the Sunday.
“As time has gone on, we thought ‘actually, we can do something on a Saturday afternoon', which is more of a fun, family, kids event.”
He said that entries have increased by 100 compared to last year.
