1-2-Tri Go
1-2 Tri Go is a Learn to Triathlon program that is geared for children and youth. The program can be used in both school and club settings and can be adapted to the ability of the participants. Once registered for our 1-2-Tri Go program, you will receive access to several resources that will assist you in starting your 1-2-Tri Go program.
How to implement the 1-2 Tri Go program?
The program is available to schools and triathlon clubs.
Schools may implement the 1-2-Tri Go program as a Physical Activity curriculum, or as an after school program. The program can be set up to be a weekly coached session, or a self directed program. Each school can make that decision.
Triathlon clubs may offer the program as a weekly program similar to their adult training session.
Attending Triathlon Races
A very important aspect of the 1-2-Tri Go program is participating in a race. Participating in a race provides the athlete the opportunity to monitor their skill progress. Participating in several small races throughout the training season, or attending one bigger race at the end of the season are both excellent opportunities for the athlete. Schools and Clubs may choose to host their own races, or they may choose for their athletes to attend a race hosted in the community.
Interested in hosting your own race, we will provide guidance and resources to assist you!
