Dear TRi KiDS Families,

We are all hoping for a successful and timely pandemic recovery. As public health guidelines change weekly, if not daily, we have created and re-created our 2021 season plans numerous times. However, with less than a month until what would traditionally be the start of the TRi KiDS season, we are now at point where some very difficult decisions have to be made.

Based on information we are receiving from our host municipalities and their public health officials there will be no event permits issued until later in the summer. This unfortunately means we have to cancel the following events;

TRi KiDS Burnaby scheduled for June 6th

TRi KiDS Okanagan scheduled for July 11th

TRi KiDS Calgary scheduled for July 18th

To say this is frustrating, disappointing, and sad is an understatement and we know our TRi KiDS families feel the same. 

We are cautiously optimistic that we can hold the late summer events listed below, but will not be opening registration until we have the approval and permits from the municipalities and their respective public health departments. Updates will be posted on our website and social media. (Dates subject to change).

TRi KiDS Niagara August 15th

TRi KiDS Milton September 5th

TRi KiDS Burlington September 12th

We would still like to give families the opportunity to experience TRi KiDS this season through TRi KiDS at Home. With TRi KiDS at Home athletes and parents can be creative in designing your own event. Choose your three events, pick your distance or amount of time for each activity, and get moving. If you do not have access to a pool, try substituting an activity like skipping, jumping on a trampoline or make it a run-bike-run. We have even included a colourful streamer to break through at the finish.

Each TRi KiDS at Home race kit includes a race bib, tote bag, pencil case, mini cow bell, button, tattoos, SunRype Fruit to Go, helpful race tips, finish line streamer and medal. 

The fee of $30 per kit includes tax and shipping. Payment is accepted by e-transfer. 

You also have the option of adding a sporty royal blue TRi KiDS race hat to your kit. The hats are lightweight and washable. Although they have an adjustable clasp we recommend measuring to ensure a good fit. The inside circumference is approximately 20” with the clasp adjusted to the smallest size. To include a hat in your race package please add $18.

To order a TRi KiDS at Home race kit or kits send us an email and include your family name, full mailing address and number of kits requested. You will receive a confirmation email with payment instructions. 

Start planning your TRi KiDS at Home race today. TRi KiDS at Home is open to everyone.

Thank you once again for your continued support.
