What Is The YTS (Youth Triathlon Series for LIVESTRONG):
The YTS (Youth Triathlon Series) is a series of swim/bike/run triathlons located within a single community that operate under the LIVESTRONG initiative to encourage families to LIVESTRONG. The program has been developed to introduce youth and newbies to multi sport by taking the intimidation out of swim/bike/run.
The Race:
Each race is executed in swim, bike, run order and the distances are set appropriate for each age to ensure that every athlete can safely and responsibly reach the finish line. Those that approach the race with more assertion can work toward the goal of excelling in place and personal best finish times. Every age and ability is welcome in the YTS as the courses are set with SAFETY being paramount followed by fair competition and family fun in an outdoor fit environment.
Where the races are held:
The races begin and end at venues that offer optimal safety to execute swim/bike/run races for youth participants of all levels of ability including our challenged athletes division. Most of the races begin in a swimming pool and those with a beach swim are set at waist to chest depth for each age. The races always begin youngest to eldest. The swim course coordinator controls the flow of athletes sent off in waves divided by age. Athletes wear an RFID timing chip on their ankle (issued at the race) to record their time.
