Kids Tri 2 - Who & What We Are
Kids Tri 2 was created in 2006 by head coach,
Koren Kuna, who watched kids become less active in
outdoor activities. As a preschool special education
teacher in Clermont, Florida, she decided to get her
classes involved in triathlon - a sport she has
successfully competed since 1997. Instead of an end
of the year party, the preschool children did a
mini-triathlon and the tradition continued until Koren
left teaching in 2004. Now working within the sport
of triathlon (event management, sales, and coaching),
Koren sees how important it is to get kids involved,
not only for the growth of triathlon but for the
well-being of today's children. Children who
participate in an active lifestyle are healthier and
happier. In May of 2006, Coach Koren was on a long
bike ride (or out in her office) and Kids Tri 2 was
born! Kids Tri 2 is excited to continue the tradition
of educating kids in proper nutrition, safety and the
wonderful sports of triathlon!
