Granitekid Triathlon:
Exact course is yet to be determined, but it will be sponsored and organized by North Crest Gymnastics, Dance, and Cheer and will be age apropriate and safe. Swimming aids such as noodles, kick boards, or life preservers will be allowed and life guards will be in the water at all times to insure the kids safety.
