Newtown Athletic Club to host their first ever Kids Triathlon Event on Wednesday, August 22, 2012.
Newtown, PA August 1, 2012. The Newtown Athletic Club is going to hold their first annual Kids Triathlon on Wednesday, August 22, 2012. It has been a goal of the NAC for many years to promote healthy living among our youth. This is just one more example of the commitment to that effort. Not only does this event serve as a springboard to good health, but it will also introduce a new type of sporting event to a wide range of children.
The NAC’s aquatics director, Brandi Perkovich, and the events director, Caitlin McKenna, coordinate this event. Both have high knowledge and experience in triathlon’s and will be holding a FREE clinic for any child who may be interested in the event but unsure about it due to lack of experience. This clinic will be held on August 8th, 2012 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. They will teach the basics of a triathlon, specifically transitioning from one event to the next. Registration is not required for the clinic but recommended.
All children ages 5 through 12 are welcome to join the event. Kids must be registered for this event by August 21st. For more information about the events, potential participants can contact Brandi at brandi@newtownathletic.com. They can also visit http://newtownathletic.com/youth/kids-tri-at-the-nac/ for registration and event information.
