North Shore Youth Triathlon 2026

Sunday, August 16, 2026

The North Shore Youth Triathlon (NSYT) presented by Wellness Revolution challenges youth aged 5–14 to develop fitness and achieve their personal best while having fun!

Formerly run by the McGaw YMCA, the NSYT is now hosted by the not-for-profit Evanston-based OWLS (Open Water Lake Swimmers) and draws on 10+ years of experience inspiring youth through triathlon.
