Race Overview
I would like to welcome you to the 2025 Youth & Junior Nationals hosted at Voice of America Park in West Chester, Ohio. Youth & Juniors from around the country will battle head-to-head for National Championship bragging rights, and our goal is to create a memorable experience for all involved.
The calm waters of Voice of America Park should provide some fast swim splits. The Age-Group, Draft Legal & Mixed Relay bike and run courses were designed to be fast paced and spectator friendly. All races will finish in the heart of Voice of America Park, and “spirit central” where Team Zones will be located.

The Mixed Relay event requires each team member, (4 members to a team with 2 males
and 2 females), to complete 1 lap of the swim course, the 5k bike course, and the 1k run
course before tagging off to their teammate who will do the same. The total team time is
from the gun start at the beginning of the race until when the last athlete crosses the finish
line. It is NOT the summation of all athlete times.
