Bangalore : Canadian International School (CIS), Bangalore, has officially announced that it will host the country’s first-ever IronKids Triathlon on August 09, 2026, as part of the globally celebrated IRONMAN® legacy and India’s first triathlon experience designed exclusively for young athletes, ushering in a new era for youth fitness and multisport competition in the region.
Designed to foster a love for physical fitness, resilience, and healthy competition, the triathlon is open to children between the ages of 6 and 16. It will be a non-competitive event with Triathlon, aquathlon and run only segments. For young athletes looking for a classic multi-sport experience, the triathlon combines swimming, cycling, and running into one continuous event. It’s a wonderful way to build endurance and transition skills.
To ensure that the event is inclusive yet appropriately challenging for all growth stages, the triathlon features three distinct age-appropriate categories spanning swimming, cycling, and running. This progressive structure allows children to build confidence and endurance in an inspiring environment where sport and community come together.
Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School, said, “We are incredibly proud to pioneer the very first IronKids Triathlon in India. At CIS, we believe in well-rounded development, and sports play a massive role in building character, grit, and determination. This event isn’t just about winning; it’s about providing a safe, world-class platform for kids of all athletic abilities across Bangalore and India to challenge themselves, stay active, and cross a historic finish line.”
Canadian International School will support all the infrastructure necessary for both pre-event activities and race-day experiences. The event will take place entirely within and around the state-of-the-art campus of Canadian International School in Yelahanka, Bangalore. CIS is equipped with a short-course swimming pool, secure cycling routes, and dedicated running tracks, ensuring the highest standards of safety, medical supervision, and race tracking for every participant.
