For many, if not all of us, the sport of triathlon has in some way impacted our lives in a meaningful way.  This gratitude we feel towards the sport is the exact reason why we have created Forte Trialthon Club for kids.  This Spring/Summer, a handful of dedicated, competitive and passionate women are offering up the opportunity for boys and girls age 8-14 to start building a foundation to learn and love the sport of triathlon.  

The idea for Forte Triathlon Club for kids started on the way back to the Twin Cities after volunteering at Ironman Wisconsin last September.  Two conversations collided serendipitously.  The first, a conversation about the significance of learning to love a sport that you can do your whole life.  The second about kids and the opportunities they have to play sports today. 

With the level of competition surrounding youth sports, and limited numbers of athletes allowed onto teams, how do we keep kids active?  How do we teach them that being active is awesome and feels good?   The sport of triathlon is a place to grow, learn, challenge yourself, make new friends and demand a better version of yourself! ...

A lot of hard work has already gone into developing Forte Triathlon Club.  What we aspire to achieve now is the opportunity to work with kids to help them learn the sport of triathlon, but even more importantly to find their FORTE in life…and to live it.

Help us build this community of which we have all benefited.  Registration is now open for the inaugural season of Forte Triathlon Club.  (Club Email)
