FYT has partnered with the Rotary Club to create a special opportunity for kids to participate. Kids 16 and under may sign up for $25 (a $35 discount off adult registration). 

We will ride as a group at the Tour De Melon as follows:

- We will start that morning just after 7:00 a.m. in a kids wave where we will ride as a group towards the Putnam Lodge in Cross City.
- We will give participants the opportunity to ride with us (out and back) for  8, 21, or 35 miles round trip. We will have an adult volunteer assigned to peel back at each of these turnarounds, which are at mile markers 4, 10.5, and 17.7 (and are also aid stations).
 - Registered participants will receive all the normal race schwag, and the same level of support as the adult riders that morning.

To sign up:

- Participants must follow the FYT Facebook page, and send an email to contact@floridayouthtriathlon.org for a discount code. - - When you contact us, please let us know the distance your child wants to ride so that we may prepare (8, 21, or 35).
 - We will then provide you with a discount code.
 - That discount code can be applied at the Tour De Melon registration page at the following page: https://raceroster.com/events/2025/96197/tour-de-melon 
 - We will also send you an update email on race week with all the details you need. We will require you to sign a separate liability waiver to ride with our group.

Parents are welcome to ride, but unless you are acting as an official volunteer, you must separately register. Please contact us if you would like a discount code, or if you’d like to assist us as an official volunteer.
