Kids
Children are particularly welcome to join the triathlon world. In East Tennessee, there are several "Super Sprint" events, triathlons with shorter distances, that are well-suited to kids and other newcomers. Possible events include the TriDeltaThon in Knoxville, the Foothills Sprint in Maryville, the Springbrook Sprint in Alcoa, and the Barberitos Fall Triathlon in Johnson City.
