Bengaluru Set to Host Inaugural IronKids Race on June 1

Global Junior Triathlon Series Comes to India, Promoting Fitness Among Youth

Bengaluru, May 21, 2025 — In a first for the city, Bengaluru will host the IronKids race on June 1 at Indian Mall, Thanisandra Main Road, introducing young athletes to the thrill of competitive running. The event, part of the globally acclaimed Ironman triathlon series, is designed to encourage children to step away from digital screens and embrace an active lifestyle.

Targeting children aged 6 to 16, the race aims to foster confidence, fitness, and camaraderie through age-appropriate running challenges. With registrations now open, parents and young runners are gearing up for an exciting day of sports and achievement.

Race Categories: Fun, Fitness, and Friendly Competition

The event is structured into three categories based on age groups:

• Category A (6-8 years): 1 km run

• Category B (9-12 years): 2 km run

• Category C (13-16 years): 3 km run

Every participant will receive a certificate and a medal, ensuring a rewarding experience for all.

Young Runners Eager to Take On the Challenge

Several children have already signed up, expressing enthusiasm for the event.

Kavya Chaubey, 7, who previously participated in an IronKids race in Malaysia, shared her excitement:

“The IronKids event in Bengaluru is not just about running—it’s about joy, building confidence, and having fun with friends. Several of my cousins and friends are also joining, which makes it even more exciting!”

Another participant, Sunaina Venkateshwaran, 10, added:

“If you’re looking to try something new in running, this is the perfect opportunity.”

A Step Towards Nationwide Youth Fitness Movement

While Ironman races for adults have been held in multiple Indian cities, IronKids marks a fresh initiative to nurture young talent. Organizers see this as the beginning of a larger movement to promote physical activity among India’s youth.

“This is just the beginning,” said the event organizers. “We plan to bring IronKids to many more cities across India soon.”
