The IronKids Triathlon Series is a series of triathlons owned or licensed by the World Triathlon Corporation that is held around the U.S. for children ages 7 to 15. The series started in 1985 and since then more than 40,000 kids have participated, including famous alumni, such as Lance Armstrong. ==Competition== The competition is divided by gender and one-year age groups and in age-appropriate distances for swimming, biking and running (in that order). Children 6 to 8 are classified as Juniors. 9 to 11 year old kids are classified as intermediate. The senior group is classified as 12 to 15. The junior group competes in a 50 yard swim, a 2 mile bike ride and a 500 yard run. The intermediate age group goes on a 150 yard swim, a 4 mile bike ride and a 1 mile run. The senior group races on a 300 yard swim, an 8 mile bike ride and a 2 mile run. The age groups start in heats, with each boys' age groups starting before the girls' age group. The first age group to start are the 14-year-old boys, followed by the 14-year-old girls, and this continues down the age groups to the 6-year old girls, the final group to start. In addition to the individual race, there are relay divisions where each leg of the triathlon is completed by a different child. There is also a "challenged IronKids" division for disabled children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ironkids」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
