Children and young teens aged four to 13 are being invited to take part in a triathlon.

The Sun and Sand Sports Junior Triathlon, set to take place at Dubai’s Kite Beach on October 11, will have five age-group categories.

Four and five-year-old participants will take part in a 25-metre swim, 400-metre bike ride and 200-metre run, while 12-year-olds will embark on a 200-metre swim, 1,600-metre bike ride and 800-metre run.

Six winners, three boys and three girls from each group, will be chosen.

At a recent event, in June, 500 young competitors took part.
