LAGO MAR YOUTH TRIATHLON - WHAT TO EXPECT
lAGO mAR YOUTH TRIATHLON
OVERVIEW:
This one-of-a-kind race brings youth triathletes to the largest Crystal Lagoon around, found at the Lago Mar neighborhood in Texas City, TX. A true oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the perfect place to race and enjoy amazing family fun!
The 12-acre Crystal Clear Lagoon is unlike anything ever created in this part of the world! The Lago Mar Lagoon is truly exceptional and is absolutely the best body of water you will ever race in: Crystal Lagoons are cleaned with advanced technology and truly crystal clear! This is the safest and most fun course we have ever put together.
DISTANCES:
Youth Triathlon Short Course ( Ages 6-10) 75 yard swim, 2 mile bike, 3/4 mile run
Youth Triathlon Long Course (Ages 11-15) 150 yard swim, 4 mile bike, 1.5 mile run
Keep in mind these are USAT Ages - the age of the participant they are on December 31st. If a child is 10 years old on race day, but turns 11 before the end of the year; the USAT Triathlon age is 11.
COURSE:
This swim is perfect for a youth course, as we will have lifeguards all over the water, and the swim course is in crystal clear water. There are no lanes and swimmers may not be able to touch the bottom the entire way. Not to worry, it is a short swim to the side of the lagoon or to frequent safety kayaks if needed.
The bike and run course will all be in the safety of the beautiful Lago Mar neighborhood.
AID STATIONS & POST RACE FOOD & DRINKS:
We will have hydration stations at the transition area and finish line.
We suggest athletes running with a hand held bottle or belt if fluids will be needed on course.
POST RACE:
After the race, find your friends and/or family for some all day waterpark fun; and enjoy the Lagoon and LagoonFest Texas at no extra charge, all morning into the afternoon! Your Race Entry Pass will double as a LagoonFest Texas pass! Which is a sweet deal! This place is unlike anywhere else, and families will not want to rush off after the finish line!
SPECTATORS:
All spectators must buy a day pass for the Lagoon to watch the races from inside the Lagoon. Great news though, our friends at Lago Mar and LagoonFest Texas are offering all spectators a very discounted Day Pass, along with a wristband that will get you 10% off all activities and food once in LagoonFest Texas. During checkout, you will register each guest in your group to a wristband by providing their name when purchasing. Wristbands are provided at the main entrance gate upon arrival/check-in. All onsite purchases including food, beverage, and retail will be administered through your wristband. Credit cards and cash will not be accepted onsite, once inside the Lagoon.
Every very registrant will be notified as soon as Spectator Passes are available for purchase.
