NEW FOR THIS YEAR! We have added a single person kayak division, and a walking division. The Kayak Division is designed for those who wish to race individually without a partner. Participants in the Kayak Division can bring their own or use a Morgan kayak, the price is the same.
In the walking division, you are still a two person team, but one or both participants can walk and be timed with other walkers. We hope these new divisions will enable Morgan’s Little Miami Triathlon to be a more versitile event for all involved.
