Ironhawk Juniors Triathlon Club

We're back! 

Our magic unicorn has been busy, busy, busy coming up with fun and games for our Annual Ironhawk Juniors Tri Club event.

To ensure COVID safety protocols, this year's event will be divided into two (2) sessions. 

Ironhawk Juniors Triathlon Club is a FREE summer program for girls ages 8-14. With two (2) sessions, the girls will take part in a 4-week training program, which has been specifically designed by USA Triathlon Certified Coaches.

The training program will start on June 3 for Session #1 and July 15 for session #2 with weekly group workouts every Thursday at  6:00pm on the beautiful campus of College of Saint Mary. The group workouts will focus on swimming, biking and/or running. These workouts are for girls of ALL experience levels!! 

For any girl who cannot financial afford equipment, IHJ will provide you with the necessary equipment. As a nonprofit, we do accept donations to cover these costs. Any donation or sponsorship of a child is greatly appreciated!

If your child would like to be a group with some friends or family, please email that information to ironhawkjuniors@gmail.com.
