RIPROAR YOUTH TRIATHLON SERIES
SEASON 12 · SUMMER 2026
By definition, RipRoar is exciting. It's loud, it's engaging, it’s full of challenge and celebration.
“RipRoar” is named for the moment a child runs across our finish line, “ripped” open through the challenge they’ve overcome and experiences the unleashing of their “wild.”
RipRoar represents the passion our team has for creating transformative moments for youth by building a stage to let them shine.
RipRoar is a new generation of youth triathlons: inspiring, challenging, and absolutely awesome.

What We Believe
We believe in safe but challenging events that teach tenacity, grit and the value of endurance.
We believe that competition, whether with others or with oneself, is valuable not divisive.
We believe that every finish line is an opportunity to hook kids on the thrill of doing hard things.
We believe that triathlon is for everyone regardless of talent, training, or quality of equipment.
We believe that creating a hard challenge allows us celebrate all who have the courage to compete regardless of place.
