KAUKAUNA — Students from three high schools are preparing to participate in the fourth annual Breaking Boundaries adaptive triathlon for students with disabilities.

The event will take place on Friday, May 19, 2023, with a 9:05 a.m. start at Kaukauna High School.

This year, Kaukauna High School students will team up with students from Kimberly and Little Chute High Schools. Thanks to donors, the event is offered at no cost to our student-athletes and mentors.

Students will participate in swimming, biking and running/walking from the Heart of the Valley YMCA along the CE Track to 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 mentor or staff member to help guide them through the course.

When:

9:05am-Dispatch to the KHS Commons for student athletes and peer mentors

9:55am-Star Spangled Banner/Triathlon begins at Heart of the Valley YMCA with swim

After students finish swimming and changing, they will begin their bike ride from the YMCA Heart of the Valley to The Recyclist. From The Recyclist, students will run/walk to the finish line at Bank of Kaukauna Stadium.

Approx. From 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., students will return 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 help each individual exceed their own expectations.

The event also aims to increase awareness, understanding and acceptance of students with all abilities at Kaukauna High School, Kimberly High School and Little Chute High School.
