The 15th anniversary of the triathlon will bring together 1500 young athletes to raise money for the Silicon Valley Children's Fund. Kids will swim, bike, and run to encourage youth exercise and to raise money for a local cause. The morning-long event will be on Sunday, June 8th with several different races for age groups ranging from 6 years and under to 13-15 years. Last year's triathlon was able to donate $15,000 to foster youth in Santa Clara County. This year's goal is to raise $25,000 to benefit 1500 foster youth in Santa Clara County.
