_NEW for 2025: We will have a High School Splash n' Dash wave, starting at 7:15pm, either distances are welcome!_



Our Kids Dash is for those that just want to run! Our dash will happen at the same location and on the same run course as the Splash n Dash, starting runners from a line near the exit to the transition area to allow for all kids to have the same run experience and comparable run times to their friends. Dash racers will run 3 laps, .75miles. Dash racers will start at 3 wave start times, 6pm, 6:30, or 7pm. We will start the first dash runner at the same time as the first Splash n Dash swim wave begins. Top 3 Overall Boys/Girls in each age group in the dash series will also receive awards at the awards party. We will post series rankings after every race. Awards party, FREE family fun run & root beer social is July 30th, 2025 at Ray Stork Park @ 6pm, all are welcome!
