Cottage Lake Triathlon

Sammamish Splash Kids Triathlon

Course Description

The Sammamish Splash Kids Tri provides a safe, fun environment for all children to improve their health while having fun and boosting their confidence. Each age group will have their own distance to complete, which is a point to point swim. They will get their bike from transition and ride within the Sunset Beach parking (that will be closed to vehicular traffic). After completing the specified number of loops, the run will go south of the transition area to the designated turn points for each age group.

Transistion Area and Race Detail

The transition area for the kid's triathlon (Sammamish Splash and the two Cottage Lake tri's June and Sept) will be open and supervised one hour before the kids tri begins. For the safety of all participants, only registered participants will be allowed in the transition area. Please rack your bike on your designated bike rack which is determined by your Bib number.

Please note: The north parking lot (Sunset Beach) will be closed during the Sammamish Splash kids triathlon, for their safety, you will not be able to move your vehicle during this time. Cottage Lake kids tri is not effected by vehicle traffic.

Checking into Transition - Parents may assist their child in getting set up in transition. Transition will open one hour prior to the event starting (after the sprint swim completes for Cottage Lake). As you prepare to check into transition, ensure your child has their bike number on their bike, and their helmet must be worn at any time while on their bike.
