City of Cambridge Kids Aquathlon - for kids 8 - 16

As part of our City of Cambridge Triathlon weekend, we are pleased to open entries for the City of Cambridge Kids Aquathlon which will take place on Saturday 27 September, the day before the main City of Cambridge Triathlon.

This new event is for kids aged 8 to 16. Swimmers can enjoy one of the finest outdoor pools at Jesus Green. This 91 metre-long pool is a popular training venue for Cambridge’s triathletes and now the stars of the future can enjoy swimming here too.

After a dip in the pool it’s on to a run around Jesus Green and crossing the same finishing gantry that will feature at the City of Cambridge triathlon. Spectators can enjoy this event around the pool side and on Jesus Green, so you can cheer the athletes all the way around the course.

The pool is heated nicely by the sun, so there’s no need for a wetsuit. Just bring your swim suit or trisuit, goggles, number belt or safety pins and trainers. Races will take place during the morning with wave starts taking place over a few hours. The shorter event for the youngest athletes will start first from around 9am, depending on the demand for places!

All finishers will receive a medal and a t-shirt, as well has having that major race feel when they cross the finishing line.
