Buca De Beppo's IronKids Alpharetta

The mission of IronKids is to inspire and motivate youth through the sport to lead an active, positive, and healthy lifestyle. The 2011 IronKids National Series provides an interactive weekend experience for the entire family that will not only showcase the nation’s top youth triathlon talent, but also will allow first-time triathletes to experience a positive introduction to the realm of multisport. Children will compete in age-appropriate distances with an emphasis on fitness, fun and safety.

IronKids is excited to partner with Buca De Beppo for the IronKids Alpharetta event.

The race is divided into age-based categories:
