On a vibrant Saturday in Granger, 170 young athletes gathered at Knollwood Country Club to take on the exciting challenge of the Kids Triathlon. This energetic event brought together children of all ages, each competing in swimming, biking, and running segments carefully designed to match their skill levels, ensuring both fun and a healthy dose of competition.

The triathlon wasn’t just about testing physical endurance; it was also a testament to the spirit of giving. Amid the cheers and high-fives, a few young participants made a meaningful gesture by donating their hair to Wigs For Kids, an organization dedicated to providing wigs to children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions. This act of kindness added an extra layer of inspiration to an already uplifting day, reminding everyone that true strength lies in both body and heart.

The event highlighted the importance of community, fitness, and philanthropy, bringing together families and friends in a celebration of youth and resilience. As the triathletes crossed the finish line, they weren’t just finishing a race—they were building connections, challenging norms, and contributing to a cause bigger than themselves.
