Join us at the YMCA Kids Triathlon on Sunday, August 10, 2025, the ultimate endurance event where our community’s youth compete in a triathlon modified just for their age.
Compete to complete. That is what youth triathletes will be achieving on Sunday, August 10, 2025. Be a part of the USA Triathlon’s USA Kids Tri movement right here in the heart of Bucks County, PA. Back by popular and sold-out demand, we are thrilled to welcome you to USA Kids Tri NJ/PA’s culminating east coast race - the 2025 YMCA Kids Triathlon. We welcome many new and returning youth athletes of all skill levels ages 3-15 where all will become finish line champions on race day. The YMCA Kids Triathlon race day is a full-family experience like none other, beginning with pre-race entertainment for your youth triathletes as they check-in, the energy and excitement of our Kids Triathlon Village, and a finish line experience that fully embraces our COMPETE TO COMPLETE and Y FOR ALL atmosphere where every athlete is a winner.
Supported by the USA Triathlon Kids Tri initiative, our YMCA Kids Triathlon is unique in that it has one podium, and all will be on it! Each year, our promise through our Kids Triathlon is to provide children with the opportunity to build confidence by setting and achieving a goal - even one they think is beyond their reach. We need every bit of your support in helping to bring home our athletes through their finish line, feeling the energy of all family, friends, and the community at large cheering them on!

YMCA Kids Triathlon Case for Support:
River Crossing YMCA is a charitable, nonprofit organization committed to strengthening our communities through membership and programs that foster youth development, healthy living and social responsibility for all. The Y employs more than 1,000 people, serves more than 60,000 individuals, and provides $5 million in charitable community impact each year. River Crossing YMCA is a non-profit organization that relies upon charitable support to ensure that no one is turned away because of an inability to pay.
Y FOR ALL: DIVERSITY & INCLUSION “For all” is a simple but powerful phrase. Without it, the Y mission is incomplete. Our commitment to inclusion creates better communities, a better country, and a better world. River Crossing YMCA is committed to fostering an environment of acceptance. We recognize that individuals, families, and communities are diverse, and choose to be inclusive of all. We are committed to developing programs and services to embrace all people and needs of our communities. We know that the key to effectively nurturing the potential of children, improving the nation’s health and well-being, and supporting our neighbors is a passionate, experienced, and diverse array of staff, volunteers, and members who value what everyone brings to the table. We are passionate about our cause to strengthen communities and know that our ability to achieve it begins with reflecting and partnering with people from all walks of life. As a Y, we believe to be truly inclusive and welcoming to all, it is critical to understand the many factors that make up and influence an individual and his or her personality. Our programs and services, including the YMCA KIDS TRIATHLON, revolve around the understanding and respect of all dimensions of diversity. 100% of the proceeds from this event will support these important causes.
