Get ready for an action-packed weekend of swimming, biking, and running as the Houston Kids Triathlon returns on April 12-13, 2025, at Typhoon Texas Waterpark in Katy! Whether your child is a seasoned athlete or just dipping their toes into the world of triathlons, this event is designed to be fun, accessible, and inclusive for kids of all skill levels.

A Race for Every Kid

One of the best things about the Houston Kids Triathlon is that everyone can participate. From confident competitors to first-time racers, there’s an event tailored for each child’s abilities:

  • Short Course Triathlon – Perfect for beginners, this course features a 125-meter swim, a 2-mile bike ride, and a 1-mile run.
  • Long Course Triathlon – A bit more challenging, this event includes a 225-meter swim, a 4-mile bike ride, and a 1.6-mile run.
  • Splash & Dash – For kids who want to experience a triathlon without the biking segment, this race includes just swimming and running.
  • Paratriathlon & Adaptive Splash & Dash – These events are designed for athletes with disabilities, ensuring every child has a chance to shine.

More Than Just a Race

The Houston Kids Triathlon is not just about crossing the finish line—it’s about building confidence, making new friends, and celebrating an active lifestyle. The racecourse is packed with encouraging spectators, upbeat music, and high-energy volunteers, making every child feel like a superstar.




A Stress-Free Experience for Parents

We get it—race day can feel overwhelming. That’s why event organizers make the entire experience smooth and family-friendly:

  • Guided course walk-throughs before race day to help kids feel comfortable.
  • A designated area for parents to watch and support their kids.
  • Friendly volunteers on hand to assist with gear, transitions, and motivation.
  • Celebratory post-race activities so families can enjoy the experience together!








The Best Part of All!

After all the hard work and excitement, the best part is cooling off in the water park! Typhoon Texas Waterpark is the perfect place for kids and families to relax, splash around, and celebrate their achievements. It’s the ultimate way to wrap up a fantastic day of fun and fitness!
