Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome Foundation Kids Quadrathlon

The WSS Foundation Kids Quadrathlon is a perfect mix of fun, exercise, and promotion of inclusiveness. Your child’s participation in the event and seeking out sponsorships recognizing their accomplishments on May 5th will not only be self-rewarding, but will provide a sense of community involvement while helping a tremendous cause.

The WSS Foundation Kids Quadrathlon will be held in the traditional triathlon format of swim bike, and run with an added twist, a circuit training course between the swim and bike. Children will complete each sport in that order. Age-based waves (heats) will determine the starting time for your child.

Upon arrival at the race site, participants need to check-in first. When checking in, your child will be “bodymarked” (a triathlon tradition of writing each participant’s race number on his/her/their arms and legs) with their race number, division, and heat. Next, your child will select a parking spot for their bike (areas will be labeled by age division) and leave their helmet on their handlebars. Your child will be given a bag to put their towel, goggles, swim cap, socks, shoes and clothes in. They will bring that to the pool.

The first event will be the swim. After completing the swim, your child will dry off, get dressed, and bring their bag into the circuit training course on the back tennis courts. Once the circuit training course, they’ll take their bag out to the transition area where their bike is parked. They’ll drop their bag, put on their helmet, retrieve their bike, and head out on the bike course on M Street.  After your child finishes the bike leg, they’ll walk their bike back to the transition area and park their bike. Then, they will take off on the run course. The race finishes when your child crosses the finish line. Plenty of volunteers will be available throughout the course to assist your child with tying shoes, etc.
