We offer 4 course options for this race. See below for courses and approximate distances. While there are recommended ages listed below, please select the course that best matches your child’s ability, regardless of age. If your athlete uses a bike with training wheels, we strongly recommend the Short Course. There is also an at-home option for participants who are interested in a virtual option.

Long Course (recommended ages 11-14): Swim 100 yards, Bike 4.3 miles, Run 1.1 miles

Long Course athletes will need to complete two loops of the bike course. Athletes are responsible for keeping track of their own number of loops while biking. You may want to station an adult from your group at the loop location along the course if you think it may be a challenge for your child to keep track of their own number of loops.

Medium Course (recommended ages 7-10): Swim 50 yards, Bike 2.1 miles, Run 0.6 mile*

Intermediate Course (recommended ages 7-10): Swim 25 yards, Bike 2.1 miles, Run 0.6 mile*

Short Course (recommended ages 3-6): Swim 25 yards, Bike 0.45 mile, Run 0.08 mile

At-Home: Complete your race wherever and whenever you like! Please follow all traffic rules and safety recommendations as you complete your race.

*Long, Medium, and Intermediate courses will need to do multiple laps on the track to complete their run portion. Each athlete is responsible for keeping track of their own number of laps. You may want to station an adult in the spectator area of the track if you think it may be a challenge for your child to keep track of their own number of laps.

See the Course Maps below to view each course. The Swim course takes place in the pool in the Waunakee High School. The Bike course will be on city streets and bike paths near the high school. The Run course will be on the track within the high school stadium. Volunteers will be stationed along the course to help direct the athletes.

As we enjoy a return to in-person racing, we want to keep you informed on the ways we are keeping our events safe for participants, volunteers, and staff. Here are a few things you can expect when participating in a Tri 4 Schools event in 2023:

• We will follow any current local health recommendations.
• Most event activities are outdoors, which allows for good air circulation and opportunities for social distancing.
• Participants will start their race individually, spread across various wave times, to maintain distancing on the course and at the race site.
• We ask that any participant, volunteer, or spectator who is experiencing any illness symptoms or has recently tested positive for COVID to refrain from attending the event.
• Even with the return to in-person racing, we will continue to offer an “at-home” option for any participants who would prefer to complete their race at home.
