New to the festivities this year is the inaugural Kids Fun Run, where some prospective future triathletes aged 14 and under could test their endurance and speed in a prelude to the actual triathlon.

The registration fee to run in the 5K is $45 in advance at northcountyturkeytrot.org and $50 on race day. The fee for the Kids Fun Run is $25. Participants will receive a T-shirt, race bib and medal.
