This report filed August 31, 2005


Sylvester, Ga. - Event Technical Services, producer of the IronKids Triathlon Series for 18 of its 20 years, has announced the schedule of events for the 2005 season. The race series, and the announcement, are coming late in the year due to corporate restructuring at Sara Lee Company, owners of the IronKids brand.

According to Event Tech's Neil MacDonald, the following slate of IronKids events will soon be open for registration:

October 23: Atlanta, GA (Cobb County Aquatic Center, Marietta)
November 6: Panama City Beach, FL (Naval Support Activity, 101 Vernon Ave.)
November 13: Clermont, FL (National Training Center)
November 20: Austin, TX (Circle C Ranch Swimming Pool)
December 4: San Diego, CA (Morley Field Sports Complex, Balboa Park)
December 11: Tempe, AZ (Kiwanis Park Recreation Center)


The IronKids Triathlon Series started in 1985 and has introduced thousands of children to the sport. Noteable past participants include Laura Reback, Olympians Nick Radkewich and Hunter Kemper, and cyclist Lance Armstrong.



These are great races for 7-14 year olds! We are very excited about hosting a race at the National Training Center in November. Z

Craig - Contact me next spring as I will be working on setting up the 2006 IronKids schedule. Sara Lee has the final decision on the cities and sites.

You will need a pool next to a park and closed roads for the bike! It is also nice to be in a large city with lots of kids that could particpate. Z

Tom,

what is the best way to contact you. I believe we can have close to 200 kids if not more. We have a pretty active tri community here. I would like to get started with the process as soon as possible to get permits set up. Thanks again for the quick reponse.

Craig
