                 Triathlon Series

Birkdale Animal Hospital  is proud to present the fourth annual kids triathlon series.   This is North Carolina's largest kids triathlon series and one of the largest in the nation. We look forward to more kids being challenged by the sport, the course, and seeing the thrill of the points championship.

                     NEW THIS YEAR
      ONLINE REGISTRATION
                    ONLY

We have many new changes for 2011. The most important change is there will only be online registration through SETUPEVENTS.COM. Starting January 1st 2011 you can go online to their website and register. There is limited same day registration that starts at 3:30pm race day but if the race fills on-line there will be no open spots the day of the race. It is a gamble that you take if you decide to register race day.  4:30 is cut off time for registration race day.

    All races will start at 5:00pm and the final race will be a Sunday race. HFFA has taken over all of the race organization this year so all information can be found at
     HFFA.com
Here you will find all needed race information, links to registration and results. we encourage you to go there for everything needed to race. Huntersville Family Fitness and Aquatic center located on 11725 Verhoeff Dr. Statesville rd in Huntersville NC.
