I photographed the 6th annual Peachtree Corners Kids Triathlon for the Peachtree Corners Patch newspaper on Saturday, August 13, 2011. This year’s race included 123 children between the ages of six and 15 participating in an endurance test of swimming, cycling and running. The triathlon was held at Simpsonwood Conference & Retreat Center in the Peachtree Corners neighborhood within the city Norcross. These are my favorite images of the race.
