With the health and safety of our athletes, volunteers and kids a key priority  we have decided not to run the KOS race this year due to Covid-19 –  we aim to be back in 2020. Stay safe and please follow all the guidelines with regard to social distancing.

2019 Hampton KOS Race Comments

“I just wanted to send a quick note to say how much fun my kids had this morning and throughout the training sessions over the last several weeks. They have not stopped talking about their races today. My 5 year old told me tonight that she was tired after biking but realized how strong she was while she was running, and my 6 year old is asking about the next race he can enter”.

“I LOVE the KOS events…so many happy kids”!

“The smiles say it all”

“I would like to congratulate all the volunteers who made the kids of steel triathlon today and the training leading up to the event a success. I have one proud girl today!”
