The Mini Maniac Youth Triathlon is an annual youth triathlon for children ages 7-14, held at the historic West Meadow Beach located in beautiful Stony Brook, NY.  It is Long Island's largest youth-only triathlon, hosted by the Lightning Warriors, a Long Island based not-for profit youth triathlon team focused on making the sport of triathlon available to ALL young athletes, regardless of background, ethnicity, religion, or socio-economic status.  

Youth athletes travel from New England and Mid Atlantic regions to attend this fun and exciting event consisting of a 100-200m open water swim in the calm, waist high waters of the Long Island Sound, a 2-4 mile bike alongside West Meadow Creek on Trustees Road, and a 1/2-1 mile run course on the boardwalk along the beach.

Proceeds from this race and the accompanying raffle will be used to cover training and facilities costs for the members of the Lightning Warriors as well as promote this up and coming sport to families who are not yet part of the triathlon community.
