Kids will swim, bike and run within and around Willard Beach Park. All participants will receive a completion medal, a t-shirt and swim cap. Parents are welcome to join their kids on the course . Training wheels and swim aids are also allowed. The Cereal City KIDS Series includes a separate swim, bike, run event AND the triathlon. Each component of this 4-part series can be done virtually or with Cereal […]
