Ironhawk Juniors Triathlon Club will mark its sixth year of empowering girls through triathlon. Since we started the FREE triathlon club for girls, ages 7-14 in the summer of 2018, we have helped more than 700 girls cross our special triathlon finish line. We’ve taught girls how to swim and how to safely ride a bike. We have given away more than 130 swimsuits, 210 bikes, 250 helmets and 200 pairs of shoes. Through our 8-week training program on the campus of our generous partner College of St Mary in Omaha, we teach the participants the three disciplines of triathlon. (swimming, biking and running) Girls learn to honor themselves and others, the importance of teamwork, how to turn a negative into a positive and to be kind. To ensure there are no barriers to participation, all equipment required to complete the triathlon is provided free to the athletes. Girls 7-10 swim 100 yards, bike three miles and run 3/4 of a mile. Girls 11-14 swim 200 yards, bike six miles and run 1.5 miles.
