Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon

San Jose, CA
NEW LOCATION • NEW DATE  Read below to make sure you understand the changes The Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon (“SVKT”) is one of the country’s largest triathlons specifically for kids aged SIX through SEVENTEEN. This year, we are moving to a new venue, the beautiful and recently opened Kathleen MacDonald High School. The swim will be in the pool and the run on the track as usual. The bike course will continue to be on closed roads. There should be plenty of parking, the bike course has easy spectator viewing, and the whole event will be more compact. Because we are in a new venue with a smaller pool, we are cutting out some of the events that have been traditionally held in order to make the event smaller as we gain more experience with this venue. Triathlon There are two triathlon events to choose from.  Competitive Triathlon is for kids aged 6 to 15 who are ready to race on their own. It is timed and there will be awards. No parents will be allowed in transition at any time. (We wil

Are you tough enough to race up a mountain road built for mule trains and silver barons? Join us for a legendary race in the Eastern Sierra - an 8-mile uphill battle climbing 4,600 vertical feet to the historic ghost town of Cerro Gordo, once the richest silver mine in California. This is not your average run.This is a gut-check. A pilgrimage. A challenge against time, gravity, and yourself. The infamous Cerro Gordo Road was carved out in 1865 to shuttle silver down from the mountains. Now, once a year, runners race back up - chasing glory, chasing ghosts, and chasing history. When you summit the town, the day’s just beginning. Cross the finish line and celebrate with:– A giant mountaintop BBQ– Live music and games– Self-guided exploration of the abandoned town– And a well-earned sense of triumph
