Children naturally love riding bikes, running and swimming. Maybe that’s why they make such enthusiastic triathletes.This Sunday a group of 25 Hall County students will compete in the IronKids National Race Series in Alpharetta.The team, sponsored by UnitedHealthcare, is made up of 44 students ages 6 to 15 in the Hall and Paulding county school systems. Jacob Weiers, Hall County Schools wellness coordinator, said the race is a great way to highlight the school district’s goals of encouraging wellness and physical activity.
