RipRoar Kids Triathlon – Omaha 2019

View Results in Full Screen Mode

Starting in 2018, RipRoar’s Youth triathlon Series are produced on behalf of The Youth Tribe, a Des Moines based non-profit focused on continuing the tradition of triathlon for the next generation. While the RipRoar Series looks similar to the world-class races of the past the effort required to keep triathlon going for future years will look much different.

The Youth Tribe is run by an all volunteer board of directors and is funded through local fundraisers, donors, corporate partners and (hopefully) grants. In 2019 The Youth Tribe has set a fundraising goal of $35,000 to cover the cost of in-school educational programing, first-time athlete training programs, Mentor scholarships and support of youth triathlons across the Midwest including the Ankeny Kids Triathlon, The Flatlands Cup and The RipRoar Youth Triathlon Series.
