Back by popular request, we are having the kid's triathlon on Saturday Morning for children ages 6 through 13. Bring the entire family as the Tri-Cities area offers something for everyone and is a great vacation getaway. The Grand Haven Triathlon and Duathlon is a great weekend for both, serious veterans and beginners alike. This event could not be made possible without the generous support of the community, local agencies, volunteers and sponsors. We would like to thank our generous sponsors: Grand Haven Bone & Joint, Shoreline Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, Breakaway Bicycles & Fitness, MMPC, Nu Union Credit Union, Envision Radiology, Gazelle Sports, Scholten Fant, Grand Haven Tribune, WGHN, Gatorade, Strong Industrial Supply, I – TRI, Pizza Hut, Beacon Best Western Motel, Home Depot and Oakes Agency.
