2025 YMCA Kids Triathlon
The YMCA will be hosting the 18th annual Kids Triathlon at Whipple Beach in Baxter, Minnesota. The wide beach, protected swim area, and quiet, dead-end roads create a fun and safe venue for beginner and experienced youth triathletes alike. Registration will be limited to the first 350 registrants. Open to Y members and the community!
