- Youth (2006-2010) starts at 13:10
The transition area will be on the grass next to the swimming pool. The children run from the swimming pool in their swimming costumes to the transition area, where they get into their cycling kit, shoes, and helmet.
After the bike ride, they return to the transition area, hand in the bike and helmet, and change into their running gear. Parents are allowed to cycle and run with the youngest children if they don't feel confident on their own. No entry fee – just fun. All children receive a participation medal and a goody bag.
