Our Founder (and current Dane County Executive Director), Katie Hensel, started Tri 4 Schools after learning about the childhood obesity epidemic and shrinking school budgets. Triathlon was the sport that inspired Katie to change her own lifestyle in college, and she wanted to share this transformative sport with the next generation of kids. The very first Tri 4 Schools event in Middleton had over 400 attendees, and organization has grown throughout Dane County since 2011.
This was the best organized and fun event I’ve been to in my 11 years as a father!
