Splash & Dash Training/Race Series
For youth (7-12) and juniors (13-17). Two Tuesday evenings per summer month, youth and juniors of all levels can participate in our NEW Splash & Dash series! It is a great way to “get your feet wet” in the sport of aquathlon and triathlon, or to practice for your summer race events. Before the events, kids will learn everything they need to know with mini-clinic lessons on how to complete the event and topics including swim tips, transition tricks, and strategies for a successful run. All of the run is on trail and does not cross any roads.
Distances for the events are as follows:
Youth 7-8, 50 meter swim, .5 mile run (1 loop)
Youth 9-10, 100 meter swim. .5 mile run (1 loop)
