MiniMax Aquathlon 2008

The 2008 MiniMax will return to a traditional aquathlon format. There is definitely a place for healthy competition among our kids, but after a weekend of stressful schedules, packet pickup, volunteering, racing, etc (for race staff and MiniMax kids' parents), we just want to have fun!
MiniMax Aquathlon will be a race for kids 5yrs-13yrs. The awards will be fun and the course will be a blast to do and to watch.

Race Day Parking

If you are coming to Innsbrook just for MiniMax, please be aware that another race is being held the same day, from 8a-1:30p... please look out for racers as you are driving on the Innsbrook roads, and be prepared to stop at intersections that are part of the race course.

Option 1- There is parking in the grass field across from the Finish Line (marked with a Parking banner). When that is full…
Option 2 – There is plenty of parking down the road from the Race Site/Finish Line. Depending on your spot, you may have to walk up to a half mile. Please plan to arrive early enough to walk to the race site, in case you are in overflow parking lots.

Please be courteous to our parking volunteers. They are getting up very early for the express purpose of helping you have a great race – it is not their fault if you do not get your ideal parking spot.

Volunteers

If you are a proud parent who can watch, cheer AND help at the same time, we'd love to have you on the course. We will need a group of swim volunteers, to stand in the water and watch/encourage the kids. We also need a few people to help direct the kids onto and through the run course, and a few people to help at the finish line with medals and food. If you're interested in volunteering, please make a note on the registration form.
