KAUKAUNA — Students from three high schools are preparing to participate in the 4th annual Breaking Boundaries adaptive triathlon for students with disabilities.
The event takes place Friday, May 19, 2023, with a 9:05 a.m. sendoff at Kaukauna High School.
This year, Kaukauna High School students will be teaming up with students from both Kimberly and Little Chute High Schools. Thanks to donors, the event is provided at no cost to our student-athletes and peer mentors.
Students will participate in swimming, biking and running/walking from the Heart of the Valley YMCA along the CE trail to the Bank of Kaukauna Stadium, located at Kaukauna High school.
To ensure safety and success during the race, students will have the opportunity to complete the race with a peer mentor or staff member to help guide them through the course.
When:
9:05 a.m.-Send off in the KHS Commons for Student-Athletes and Peer Mentors
9:55 a.m.-Star Spangled Banner/Triathlon starts at the Heart of the Valley YMCA with swimming
As students finish swimming and get changed, they will begin their trek from the Heart of the Valley YMCA to The Recyclist on a bicycle. From The Recyclist students will run/walk to the finish line at Bank of Kaukauna Stadium.
Approx. 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., students will be returning to Bank of Kaukauna Stadium at KHS
Organizers say the event promotes a healthy lifestyle for students while appropriately challenging their social, emotional, and physical ability to level to help each individual exceed their own expectations.
The event also is intended to grow awareness, understanding, and acceptance of students with all abilities at Kaukauna High School, Kimberly High School and Little Chute High School.
