Youth Development Event #1 – Report & Results

tri-bvi-youth-dev-1-24On Saturday 25th February, 38 young and enthusiastic competitors made the BVI Triathlon Federation’s (BVITF) first youth development triathlon a success. Children under 15 with interest in any aspect of the triathlon – swim, bike, or run – were encouraged to participate regardless of their individual ambitions.

Five races were held in 80 minutes: three relay heats and two individual heats.

Notably 16 individuals took part in the two age group heats. “With eight individuals going head to head there was a definite feel of real competition; there were some closely contested battles,” said event organiser Chris Ghiorse, BVITF Youth Development Director. BSAFE provided all the equipment to host this free event, while Nanny Cay Resort and Marina’s environs provided the BVITF a great venue to create an exciting safe course for all levels of ability.

“This was a great first event which also enabled us to find some key areas we need to improve for the next race. The turnout and excitement generated is a good indicator of the future of triathlons in the BVI. Thankfully we had plenty of volunteers; BVITF members, Rotaractors, KATS, Ladies of SASS, the Makos Swim Club, Parents, and a Cedar School Community service student all helping, to keep the event safe and fun,” Chris concluded.

The next youth event will be held on Saturday March 17th. The venue has yet to be determined and will be announced shortly.
