From the organizers

The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (“SVKT”) is one of the country’s largest triathlons specifically for kids aged SIX through SEVENTEEN.

It's our second year at this venue and based on what we learned last year, we are adding back the Duathlon for ages six to ten. Non-competitive events for the youngest children will be the day before.

We are also contracting for some overflow parking.

Triathlon

There are two triathlon events to choose from.
