THERAPEUTIC RECREATION Adult Social Club: Friday Night Rec

MIGHTY TIKES TRIATHLON Preschoolers will have a blast running their very own “triathlon”, and you will have even more fun cheering them on! Just like a traditional triathlon, kids will start off pedaling their way through the BIKE COURSE, they will then transition to the RUNNING portion and will conclude their triathlon with a “SWIM” (actually a dash through a water obstacle course!) as they head to the finish line to receive their medal. Every participant is REQUIRED to bring a bike (tricycles accepted too) and a helmet for this event. No bikes larger than 16 inches please. Each participant will receive an official Mighty Tikes Triathlon T-Shirt and Medal. Parents don’t forget to bring your cameras and video cameras - you won’t want to miss out on catching that award winning moment. Pre-registration is required by July 31.

Ages: 3-6 Fee: $24 Foreman Field at Ballenger Creek Park 5522 8/22-8/22 Sa 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
