IronKIDS

The IronKids aquathlons are fun events for youngsters. Depending on the age, various distances have to be swum and run. Fun is the most important thing in these events, competition in secondary. IronKids events introduce children to sports, and taking place in the Ironman setting, the kids are celebrated just as the “big” heroes. The diversified supporting program turns IronKids races into a real family adventure.

In the framework of the Ironman France, the kids have the opportunity to swim in the turquoise waters of the Côte d’Azur and – like in all IronKids aquathlons – to cross the real Ironman Finishline after the run. Up to 400 kids from 8 to 15 are invited to participate in this event taking place on Ironman race day, while the triathletes are away on the bike leg for several hours. IronKids in France attain the Finishline under the steady applause of Ironman spectators.
