This unique, beginner friendly youth event will be a fantastic opportunity for kids to swim, run, and have a great time being outside in the Town of Smyrna, Tennessee.
Kids will start their morning with a quick time-trial lap swim in the Splash Town pool where they will proceed through the splashpad to the transition zone where they will grab their running shoes for the second half of the event.
