Bangalore, July 02, 2026: Canadian International School (CIS), Bangalore, has officially announced that it will host the country’s first-ever IronKids Triathlon on August 09, 2026, as part of the globally celebrated IRONMAN® legacy and India’s first triathlon experience designed exclusively for young athletes, ushering in a new era for youth fitness and multisport competition in the region.

Designed to foster a love for physical fitness, resilience, and healthy competition, the triathlon is open to children between the ages of 6 and 16. It will be a non-competitive event with Triathlon, aquathlon and run only segments. For young athletes looking for a classic multi-sport experience, the triathlon combines swimming, cycling, and running into one continuous event. It’s a wonderful way to build endurance and transition skills.

To ensure that the event is inclusive yet appropriately challenging for all growth stages, the triathlon features three distinct age-appropriate categories spanning swimming, cycling, and running. This progressive structure allows children to build confidence and endurance in an inspiring environment where sport and community come together.

Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School, said, “We are incredibly proud to pioneer the very first IronKids Triathlon in India. At CIS, we believe in well-rounded development, and sports play a massive role in building character, grit, and determination. This event isn’t just about winning; it’s about providing a safe, world-class platform for kids of all athletic abilities across Bangalore and India to challenge themselves, stay active, and cross a historic finish line.”

Canadian International School will support all the infrastructure necessary for both pre-event activities and race-day experiences.  The event will take place entirely within and around the state-of-the-art campus of Canadian International School in Yelahanka, Bangalore. CIS is equipped with a short-course swimming pool, secure cycling routes, and dedicated running tracks, ensuring the highest standards of safety, medical supervision, and race tracking for every participant.

As the first school in Bangalore to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), CIS is also proud to celebrate 26 years of delivering the IBDP, a programme that has shaped generations of global-minded learners. The anniversary reunion will honour this legacy while reconnecting alumni from around the world – representing dozens of nationalities, professions, and life journeys.

The event will feature campus tours along with scavenger hunts, a trivia challenge reflecting on the past 30 years of excellence in education and more activities celebrating CIS’s evolution from its founding to its status today as one of India’s leading international schools. Alumni will have the opportunity to reconnect with former teachers and classmates, and experience the school’s continued commitment to Nurture, Challenge, Empower—values that have guided its mission for three decades.

“This reunion is far more than a celebration—it is a homecoming for thousands of students who have carried the CIS spirit across continents,” said Ms. Anjana Sastri, Head of Strategic Initiatives at Canadian International School, Bangalore. “As we mark 30 years, we are honoured to welcome our alumni back to the place where their international journeys began.”

The school will also highlight key milestones from its 30-year history, including the development of its lakeside campus, innovation in academic and co-curricular programmes, and its long-standing commitment to international-mindedness, sustainability, and whole-child development.

The event will be held on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at the Canadian International School, Yelahanka, Bangalore.  CIS alumni from all graduating years, former faculty are invited to register and attend this celebration that honours the past, embraces the present, and looks ahead to an exciting future.
