Now Recruiting Children to Participate in the 2026 World Triathlon Yokohama!!

As part of its initiatives for children, the 2026 World Triathlon Yokohama will hold ① a "Kids Program" (getting involved in the operation of the world championship, such as award ceremonies and press experiences, to feel the excitement and tension of the event up close) and ② a "Family FUN Run" (experiencing the same run course as top athletes with a parent). Children can gain a lot of learning by experiencing the world's top-level competition, so we look forward to receiving many applications! ## ① Kids Program Since its first event in 2009, the World Triathlon Yokohama has provided opportunities for children to have "dreams" and "hopes" and to grow through the event. Some athletes who were inspired by the event started para-athletics and even participated in the Paralympics. Others are involved in the event as members of the student volunteer group "Hamatora Future Project." For the 2026 event, we will also hold a "Kids Program" where children can experience the excitement and tension of the event up close. This special program, which allows children to experience the stage of a world championship firsthand, will support their future! ### 【Activity Overview】 Activity Dates: May 16 (Sat), 17 (Sun) *Varies by program Target: New 1st-6th grade elementary school students Location: Yamashita Park, Yamashita Park Street, Red Brick Warehouse Participation Fee: Free (includes an original event T-shirt and cap) ### 【Application Information】 Application Period: April 1, 2026 (Wed) 12:00 PM - April 26, 2026 (Sun) 11:59 PM Application Method: Apply via "Peatix" URL: https://2026wtcs-kidsprogram.peatix.com Multiple program applications are possible.
