SVKT is offering a full set of clinics this year!
In order to meet the needs of our race participants, we have partnered with Coach Martin Spierings of TCMTriSquad in Santa Cruz. Coach Martin and his coaches are all USA Triathlon certified and have fulfilled all requirements for working with children set out by USAT. In addition to running our clinics, Coach Martin has a youth team based out of Santa Cruz. If you want more training than our clinics will provide, check it out! (And there is an adult team too for the parents.)
Sign up when you register for the Silicon Valley Kids Triathlon or Duathlon.
