The swim will be 25 yards, in calm, clear Corcoran's Pond. Lifeguards will be on hand to help the kiddos out. It is a time trial start, with each child starting individually. We'll start each child at approximately 5 second intervals.

The 1.5 mile bike is an out and back course, and will go by Snow's Mountain, surrounded by the majestic 4000 foot peaks of the White Mountain National Forest. The road is flat, and in excellent condition.

After you finish the run, head on out for the .5 mile run, that will take you on Village Road, passing the Black Bear Lodge and Snowy Owl Inn. After the turnaround, you're on your way home: The Black Fly Tri Finish Line, located right next to Town Square!

It's great to be a kid....It's not so great to be a kid watching adults run around in spandex. To make the kiddos feel at home, we'll be offering a bunch of activities for them. There will be arts and crafts, and Nintendo Wii's set up so the kids can play some video games! There will also be a coloring contest, so make sure your kids stop by and color in Buzz the Black Fly!

In addition, there will be a special pie-eating contest for the kids, to take place right before the awards. Sign up at the Kids Zone.
