2014 Registration is now open

You can register for the 2014 race today at http://www.firstcoastkidstriathlon.com

When you register be sure and list your team as Greenland Pines Reading Racers and the race will donate $10 of your registration fee to the school.

We are working with the triathlon organization to host a 3 hour triathlon training event with former triathletes.  Our hope is the have this event on Saturday March 29th.  Once it has been confirmed by the organization and by our administration I will let you know.  No matter what we will at least have our own training that day if the organization can't come out so please mark that day on your calendar.  Our hope is to have it later in the afternoon so it will not interfere with sports activities that might be going on during the morning.

We would like to offer training at the school on Saturday Mar 8th from 4-530 and Sat Apr 12th from 330-5.  If the Saturdays don't work for you and you are in need of a Sunday time we can offer an optional Sunday training day on Mar 9th from 330-5 but I would need you to email me personally if you need this date.  You would arrive at GPE and park in the bus loading zone.  We will have the kids ride their bikes in the school parking lot.  It will be closed to vehicular traffic.  Bring bikes, helmets, running shoes and water.  More details and reminders will go out closer to the date.

We are working to confirm with administration to have a table at the Math and Science Festival on Thursday Mar 6th from 5-7.  If you are interested in helping with the table, bringing your child's bike up for display and/or having your child, if they raced last year, where their shirt (either one from the race) and talk with prospective racers please let me know.  As of now, I will probably not be able to be there for the whole event so I can use the help talking with parents and kids.
