5 years ago I'd wonder if you had even 1 youth event put on within 4 hour drive. What part of country do you live in? Almost every major city has some type of youth tri programming these days.
ETA: currently there are 52 registered junior teams that race junior races in US.
I live in Cleveland.
I'm talking about races my child can participate to determine if it's something he would like to pursue more without getting too serious right now. I looked at several of those junior race teams and many seemed to be geared towards teenager/high school kids. A couple of those geared for kids under 11 showed pictures of the kids in nicer kits than I have, which I think gets back into the whole cost/perception equation.
Edit: Just looked at your youth training program and that seems more in line with what I think would help engage young kids. Make triathlon part of a fun & healthy lifestyle.
