Register today for the Bellingham Youth Triathlon!

A triathlon is a multi-sport event that includes swimming, biking, and running.

The Bellingham Youth Triathlon gives kids ages 5 to 13 a chance to try all three, or compete as a 2-or-3-person relay, in a noncompetitive, supportive environment!

Join us on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at the Arne Hanna Aquatic Center and see what can be accomplished!
