1379 Tri Series

Why Triathlon?

Triathlon is a sport that combines swimming, cycling and running into one event — in a fun, high-energy environment!

With the Series, we have selected some of the most well-run and popular races in the area – bound to give you and your family a memorable experience.

Registering for more than one race will allow you to build on the experience gained from each event. You have the option of taking part in one, two, three or ALL FOUR of the Series races listed below.

Tri Series

1379 is proud to present the first annual 1379 Kid’s & Family Triathlon Series! Our goal with the Series is to encourage activity and fitness through the sport of triathlon for kid’s ages 7-15 and their families.

1379 is an Austin-based active wear retail store that was founded on the idea that an active community is a better community. We hope that this series is one way to promote this value.

Making It Fun!

We try to make each event about having fun! Before each event, there are plenty of volunteers to calm the kids’ nerves. During the events, there are many people to help the kids find their way through this different and sometimes confusing sport. And after each event we encourage kids and families to stick around and enjoy free local food, water gun fights, and sometimes a very serious kick ball game. Each event is dedicated to making sport and activity fun for kids so exercise becomes a lifelong passion for our kids.

Teamwork!

Some of the events utilize the team method by allowing friends to team up instead of trying all three skills for their first event. It makes a nice transition for some kids who just want to feel out what a triathlon is all about before trying all three disciplines for themselves. Let them pick their favorite and find friends who can fill in the other spots. Not all of our races offer this option so check each event’s info page.
