The Kids Triathlon started out as a
fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity of
Greater Pittsburgh but has become so much
more than that over the past 13 years. While
it remains Habitat’s major fundraising effort
to raise money to build houses for people in
need of affordable, decent housing, it also
gives kids a fun and energy-burning activity in
the summertime! Athletes of all abilities are
encouraged to participate. To register as an
athlete or volunteer, or to view sponsorship
opportunities, visit the website.
