Northfield Y Kids Tri

9AM - Noon

Get ready for one of the most inspiring summer traditions at the YMCA — the Y Kids Tri! For years, young athletes of all abilities have crossed the finish line with confidence, courage, and huge smiles as they swim, bike, and run their way through this exciting youth triathlon experience. Built around fun, encouragement, and personal achievement, the Y Kids Tri continues the YMCA tradition of helping kids grow stronger in spirit, mind, and body while creating lasting memories for participants and families alike.

Originally organized by a talented and passionate group of volunteers, this program pre-dates our YMCA facility and was originally hosted at Old Memorial Pool. With the skills, heart, and support that our volunteers and partners at the City of Northfield provided, the Y Kids Tri became an event that kids have remembered, and we are honored to carry on the legacy!

Whether it’s a child’s very first race or part of an ongoing love for fitness and healthy living, the Y Kids Tri is about more than competition — it’s about building confidence, celebrating effort, and cheering each other on every step of the way. Join us as we continue this exciting tradition and inspire the next generation of strong, healthy kids!
